چکیده

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty acids (vfas), ph variation, the quality and quantity of the produced biogas, an energy audit, pathogen inactivation and sludge dewaterability during anaerobic digestion were investigated and compared for mesophilic and thermophilic processes in this research. only the thickest sludge (ts concentration 60 g/l) provided auto-thermality under mesophilic conditions. the mesophilic digestion took place after 32 to 36 days with slightly more methane production and removal of organics than thermophilic digestion. the results showed that there was no significant difference between thermophilic and mesophilic digestion with respect to the gas composition. among the vfas (key intermediates), only propionate accumulated during sludge anaerobic digestion at both the mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. thermophilic anaerobic digestion imparts improved dewaterability. the required time for sludge pathogen inactivation under mesophilic conditions was more than one month.

Start-up and HRT Influence in Thermophilic and Mesophilic Anaerobic Digesters Seeded with Waste Activated Sludge

Since thermophilic anaerobic digestion represents an efficient alternative to mesophilic anaerobic digestion, multiple studies have been developed to compare their performance and viability. One of the problems related to thermophilic anaerobic digestion is the availability of an adequate seed to start-up the process. The goal of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using waste activate...

Methanosarcinaceae and acetate-oxidizing pathways dominate in high-rate thermophilic anaerobic digestion of waste-activated sludge.

This study investigated the process of high-rate, high-temperature methanogenesis to enable very-high-volume loading during anaerobic digestion of waste-activated sludge. Reducing the hydraulic retention time (HRT) from 15 to 20 days in mesophilic digestion down to 3 days was achievable at a thermophilic temperature (55°C) with stable digester performance and methanogenic activity. A volatile s...

Thermophilic versus Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge: A Comparative Review

During advanced biological wastewater treatment, a huge amount of sludge is produced as a by-product of the treatment process. Hence, reuse and recovery of resources and energy from the sludge is a big technological challenge. The processing of sludge produced by Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) is massive, which takes up a big part of the overall operational costs. In this regard, anaerobic...

Anaerobic digestion of polyelectrolyte flocculated waste activated sludge.

This work examined how adding one of three polyelectrolyte flocculants (T3052: cationic, T2000: non-ionic, and T1052: anionic) affected the anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge. Methane production, floc characteristics (morphology and zeta-potential) and process parameters (soluble chemical oxygen demands (SCODs) and reductive potentials) were monitored along the digestion tests. The digest...

Anaerobic Co-digestion of Sewage Sludge with Cheese Whey under Thermophilic and Mesophilic Conditions

Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge (SS) and co-digestion with cheese whey (CW) was evaluated in batch conditions under mesophilic and thermophilic regimens. Results indicated that the co-digestion can be successfully attained despite some inhibitory stages that may be initially present due to the accumulation of volatile fatty acids. Degradation of the mixture SS-CW followed a similar pattern...
