The concern about using organic waste as a renewable energy source is a critical worldwide issue. In this area, anaerobic digestion (AD) seems to be a promising solution because of the significant reduction of waste quantity and generation of valuable products such as biogas, regarded as being a good energy carrier and digestate with high nutritional potential for agriculture. The current trends... Read more

Biography

Agnieszka Montusiewicz, Ph.D., Sc.D. is an associate professor at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering of the Lublin University of Technology. She received her Ph.D. and postdoctoral degree in the technical sciences in the field of environmental engineering, which was supported by fourteen years of experience in designing and operating both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Her scientific interests focus mainly on the issues related to applications of hydrodynamic cavitation in wastewater treatment and pretreatment of organic waste to increase its biodegradability, as well as methods enhancing biogas production and novel methods of wastewater treatment. She is a co-author of technological solutions for full-scale facilities in the field of tannery wastewater treatment and multi-component co-digestion in WWTP. A measurable outcome of her research is the authorship or co-authorship of 3 books, 67 papers, 5 chapters in monographs and 5 patents.
