Considering about 3.2 M 3 reaction volume and about 7-7.5% -total solids, the processed lignocellulosic feedstock obtained above was added to a PTR. To this, about 2% Thermobifida fusca culture was added and mixed using agitator and aeration. The pretreatment reaction was carried out at about 45°C and for about 48 h. Post pretreatment, part of pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock was transferred to anaerobic digester.

- biomethanated liquid was further analysed (see Table 12).
- the post-biomethanated solids and liquid of rice straw were found to be rich in micro and macro minerals. Due to the high C/N ratio of biomethanated solids, it can be used as soil conditioner for agriculture and horticulture industries after dilution with biomethanated spent wash of rice straw thus making it a complete biofertilizer.
- the instant process can be implemented at small, medium, as well as large scale.
