Biogas Production from Anaerobic Treatment of Agro-Industrial Wastewater

This chapter intends to bring together the knowledge obtained from different applications of anaerobic technology in the treatment of various kinds of agro-industrial wastewaters to generate biogas. The first part covers essential information on the fundamentals of anaerobic technology, to demonstrate how the anaerobic treatment is able to generate significant volumes of methane-rich biogas. The wastewaters used in this chapter to generate biogas, contribute significantly in the pollution of the water bodies. In this opportunity the wastewater from Tequila vinasses were treated by different microbial consortia with energy purpose.
