Résumé

Syngas biomethanation is a promising technology for waste to energy conversion. However, it had not yet been tested at high syngas flow rates. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility for syngas biomethanation to reach high methane productivity at higher syngas inflow rate. A pressurized stirred column was implemented. The syngas inflow rate was gradually increased, and two different increase strategies were compared. The highest methane productivity achieved yet with syngas-biomethanation was obtained, with 23.2 LCH4/L/d, with high conversion efficiencies of 89% for H2 and 82% for CO. The mass transfer performances of the process were investigated, and the existence of a biological enhancement factor was observed. Considering an enhancement factor in bioprocesses is a pioneering concept that could change the way we design bioreactor to improve mass transfer. The high methane productivity obtained in this study paves the way for the process industrialization.
