Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83127) has announced the addition of "Biogas from Waste and Renewable Resources: An Introduction" to their offering.
Written as a practical introduction to biogas plant design and operation, this book fills a huge gap by presenting a systematic guide to this emerging technology -- information otherwise only available in poorly intelligible reports by US governmental and other official agencies. The author draws on teaching material from a university course as well as a wide variety of industrial biogas projects he has been involved with, thus combining didactical skill with real-life examples. Alongside biological and technical aspects of biogas generation, this timely work also looks at safety and legal aspects as well as environmental considerations.
Authors bio:
Dieter Deublein is Professor for Applied Biotechnology at the Munich University of Applied Sciences (Germany). A graduate from the Technical University of Munich, he has more than two decades of professional experience in the large scale processing of natural resources, mainly from food and feed. Since 1992 he is a member of the Faculty of the Munich University of Applied Sciences, where he has established a strong teaching record in biotechnology and environmental management. He is a leading scientific authority on the technological aspects of biogas production, both in small-scale and large-scale operations.
