METHOD OF ENHANCING METHANE PRODUCTION FROM ORGANIC MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention includes a method for enhancing methane production from organic material. The method includes establishing baseline conditions of the organic material, which includes establishing baseline concentrations of at least four light metal cations in the organic material. The light metal cations include divalent and monovalent cations. The method further includes adjusting pH and alkalinity of the organic material. The method also includes adjusting the proportions of the light metal cations, which includes adjusting the ratio of the divalent to monovalent cations, adjusting the ratio of a first light metal cation to a second light metal cation, and adjusting the ratio of a third light metal cation to a fourth light metal cation.
