PhD thesis: Industrial Bioprocess Developments for Biogas and Ethanol Production

Karthik Rajendran came to Borås from Chennai (India) in 2009 as MSc student and he nailed his PhD thesis today after several years hard work on experimental and modeling work for biogas and ethanol processes. In this period, he had a great contribution to new soft biogas reacFOV Biogas". In addition, he did great job in modeling of biogas process, particularly the digestion reactions and also integration of the first and second generation ethanol plants. He will defend his thesis on 6 Nov. I wish him good luck!
