Active contributor to Norddeutsches Reallabor project (sub-project 6.2- Synergy of Power-to-Gas and Biowaste-based Biogas Plant): plan, coordinate and realise industrial-scale (70,000 tonne/a capacity) testing phase for biomethanation integration with hydrogen injection (1.5 MW PEM electrolyser). [on-going] -Further details: https://norddeutsches-reallabor.de/teilvorhaben-steckbrief-6-2/

- Integration testing of SimuCF software - Laboratory experiences: 1. Biomethane Potential (BMP) test: anaerobic digestion of leaves (wet) 2. Degradation of bioplastics (DIN EN ISO 14852) 3. Physico-chemical analysis for waste substrates (TS, OTS, pH)

- Biowaste treatment (processes: anaerobic digestion and composting) - Waste-air treatment (biofilter: performance optimisation) - Biowaste pre-treatment (state-of-the-art research & analysis) Master Thesis: Improve overall biogas plant performance with Lean Six-Sigma (DMAIC) 1. Understand and evaluate existing treatment processes (P&IDs) 2. Assess the performance of biogas generation 3. Identification and determination of root causes (active data analysis)-Ishikawa 4. Improve performance (proposal)
