Abstract: Biogas digesters have captured many imaginations because they can turn organic wastes from our farms, factories and cities into a valuable source of renewable energy. In addition, the potential of this technology to reduce odors and other environmental concerns of animal feedlots has resulted in much recent interest from researchers and scientists all over the globe. Despite its numerous advantages, the potential of biogas technology could not be fully harnessed or tapped, as certain constraints are also associated with it. Researchers have tried different techniques to enhance gas production. This paper reviews the use of fixed-bed reactors in various fields reported by different researchers using variety of substrates.
