Model respirometry chambers were used to determine the amount of produced biogas and examine its quality composition. Depending on the month in which the algal biomass was obtained, the experiments were divided into five stages. In each stage, the effectiveness of the biogas production process was tested for the applied loads in model fermentation chambers in the range from 1.0 kg DOM/m3 · d to 3.0 kg DOM/m3 · d. During the experiments it was found that the efficiency of biogas production varied from 205 dm3/kg DOM to 407 dm3/kg DOM depending on the month of the vegetation season and the applied organic matter load in the chamber. Methane content was very high and ranged from 63% to 74%.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Efficiency of the Methane Fermentation Process of Macroalgae Biomass Originating from Puck Bay / Wydajność Procesu Fermentacji Metanowej Biomasy Makroglonów Pochodzących Z Zatoki Puckiej}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/85786/PDF/10265-Volume38-Issue4-paper_09.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10265-012-0033-5}, keywords={Algal biomass, anaerobic digestion, eutrophication, Puck Bay}, }
