  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Solid State Fermentation

Abstract

Anaerobic solid-state fermentation has unique advantages in that it is water and energy saving and provides environmental protection; it will be the future direction of the fermentation industry. Anaerobic solid-state fermentation has shown tremendous application potential in the fermentation industry, agriculture, and treatment of organic solid waste. This chapter first analyzes the biological and physics basis of anaerobic solid-state fermentation. The typical case is reported in more detail, including principles, processes, and trends. The breakthroughs of reactors for production of ethanol and biogas are based on anaerobic solid-state fermentation. Anaerobic solid-state fermentation can be used in to produce such as things as bio-based energy, chemicals, traditional food, and agricultural feed and assist with environmental protection, especially for silage and solid waste treatment.
