The recording of the last RedbioLAC Webinar 2019 is now online
News from WISIONS posted on January 6th, 2020

The potential of biogas is very important for the technical planning of
biogas plants, as they are the basis for feasibility studies. Similarly,
they also help to identify regional substrates (residual biomass) to
form the basis of public policies.
For its part, laboratory work
needs quality control and a great deal of knowledge of kinetics and
aggregate uncertainties. Interlaboratory trials are used to verify the
effectiveness and efficiency of analytical routines by comparing results
between laboratories.
The webinar will present the experience
obtained in the Anaerobic Digestion Interlaboratory Study of the
BiogasFert/Embrapa Network, with the support of the RedBioLAC working
group.
The purpose of the interlaboratory was to exchange samples
and information for standardization of the biochemical potential of
biogas (PBB) and methane (PBM). The addition of experiences from the
activities from 2014 to 2019 will be shown, with the participation of
more than 35 LAC laboratories.
