Near-ideal plug-flow enables stage separation during dry anaerobic digestion of biowaste in a rotating drum fermenter

Conventional designs of anaerobic plug-flow reactors frequently exhibit stagnant zones and pronounced short-circuiting, undermining plug-flow behavior and reliable biowaste pasteurization. Ideal plug-flow conditions could, in contrast, enable a spatial separation of metabolic sta...
