Membrane bioreactors for biohydrogen production

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Biohydrogen, as a renewable and clean energy source, holds immense potential to replace fossil fuels, contributing to a low-carbon future. Bioreactor development in these biotechnologies plays a pivotal role in scale-up of biohydrogen production for commercial applications. There are various bioreactors, such as bubble columns, airlift, packed bed, and fluidized bed. Among these, dynamic membrane bioreactors (DMBRs) stand out because of advantages such as enhanced efficiency of solid-liquid separation, reduced energy consumption, and simplified maintenance procedures, making them ideal for achieving high biohydrogen yields while ensuring cost-effectiveness and scalability in commercial applications. This chapter reviews the advancements in biohydrogen production through bioconversion technologies with emphasizing the potential of the DMBR as a promising technology.
