物料产甲烷潜力分析技术及设备评述

Technologies and equipments used for testing biochemical methane potential (BMP)-a review

物料产甲烷潜力测试(BMP)通常用于测定有机废弃物的厌氧可降解性能、最大产甲烷潜力和降解速率,不仅在沼气相关技术研究中得到使用,也是评估沼气工程盈利能力及其过程优化控制的重要工具。总结了BMP分析技术及设备,评述了近年来发展的一些高精度、自动化测试系统,包括Yieldmaster甲烷测定系统、Ox-iTop生物降解测定仪和全自动甲烷潜力测试系统(AMPTS)等。

Biochemical methane potential （BMP） tests, which are used to determine the anaerobic biodegradability and ultimate methane potential as well as the rate of the biodegradation process of organic wastes, have been involved in not only a number of research activities in biogas technology but also profitability assessment and operation optimization of biogas plants. Advances in the development of BMP test procedures and equipments, especially some advanced, precise, automatic systems such as Biogas analyzer Yieldmaster, Automatic Methane Potential Test System （AMPTS） and so on, are reviewed in this paper.
