Techno-Economics and Life Cycle Assessment of Bioreactors: A Post-Covid19 Waste Management Approach

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of waste management, the book “Techno-economics and Life Cycle Assessment of Bioreactors: Post-Covid19 Waste Management Approach” by Puranjan Mishra offers a timely and comprehensive guide to the emerging trends in bioreactor research. This book covers the critical aspects of techno-economics and life cycle assessment, which are essential for making the anaerobic-digestion process technically feasible, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Waste Management Practices

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the fore the need for sustainable waste management practices. The book begins with an introductory chapter that highlights the impact of COVID-19 on existing practices of waste and resource management, setting the stage for the rest of the book.

Advances in Bioreactor Development for Enhanced Valorization of Waste

The book is divided into three sections, with the first section focusing on advances in bioreactor development for enhanced valorization of waste. The chapters in this section provide a thorough examination of the latest developments in bioreactor design, highlighting the opportunities for valorization of waste and the potential for transforming waste into wealth.

Techno-Economics of Bioreactor Systems

The second section of the book delves into the techno-economics of different bioreactor systems, offering a comprehensive evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of these systems. This section provides valuable insights into the costs and benefits of bioreactor systems, enabling readers to make informed decisions about their adoption.

Life Cycle Assessment of Bioreactors

The third section of the book is dedicated to the life cycle assessment of bioreactors, a critical aspect of evaluating the environmental sustainability of these systems. This section highlights the methodological challenges of life cycle assessment and provides a prognosis for the maximum utilization of waste for energy generation.

With contributions from leading experts in bioreactor and life cycle assessment, this book is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and professionals working in the fields of anaerobic digestion, renewable energy, and sustainable waste management.
