5 Preface This book is about biogas production using anaerobic digestion technology, with an emphasis on waste utilization/valorization. Biogas is arguably the most commercialized type of biofuel. Nevertheless, there has been a renewed interest in biogas production from waste-oriented feedstock worldwide and in particular in the developing countries. A number of parameters including increasing energy demands and worsening environmental conditions are among the main driving factors of this surge in interest in biogas. The present book, which is the six book in the series on Biofuel and Biorefinery Technologies, offers a comprehensive reference guide to biogas production from different waste streams by internationally recognized experts in the field of biogas production form both academia and industry. The 18 chapters cover various aspects of anaerobic digestion technology from the basics, i.e., microbiological aspects to prominent parameters governing biogas production systems, as well as major principles of their operation, analysis, process control, and troubleshooting. In addition, major issues affecting biogas production, including the type of feedstock, pretreatment techniques, production systems, design and fabrication of biogas plants, as well as biogas purification and upgrading technologies are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. Providing in-depth and cutting-edge information on central developments in the field, Biogas: Fundamentals, Process, and Operation also addresses the application of advanced environmental and energy evaluation tools including life cycle assessment (LCA), exergy, techno-economics, and modeling techniques. The book is intended for all researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in the current trends and future prospects of biogas production technologies. It is expected that the present volume on biogas would assist both the scientific and industrial communities in further developing this industry worldwide. We are thankful to authors of all the chapters for their efficient cooperation and also for their readiness in revising the manuscripts. We also would like to extend our appreciation to the reviewers who in spite of their busy schedule assisted us by v
