Optimization of Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Winery Bio-waste by Micro-nutrients Augmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermophilic anaerobic digestion is a suitable technology to treat agricultural waste because of its higher biogas production, hygienisation effect and solids removal efficiency. Although these benefits, poor effluent quality and instability are encountered in some cases. The anaerobic co-digestion of winery waste and waste activated sludge at 55°C, operating at 23 days HRT and with an organic loading rate of 3.2 kg COD/md, was characterized by accumulation of volatile fatty acids, pH fall and reduction of biogas production, while mesophilic process was steady at long term. The study evaluated the effect of trace elements (iron, cobalt and nickel) augmentation in the thermophilic reactor at different concentration of micro-nutrients. The addition improved the process stability: pH became constant and average volatile fatty acids concentration was below 1,000 mg COD/L. The biogas production increased from 0.38 to 0.45 m/kg COD, corresponding to 90% of COD removal, while mesophilic reactor removed the 78% of total COD. Digestate had interesting characteristics as fertilizer in fact the higher solids removal (28%) allowed to concentrate the phosphorus in the particulate fraction and nitrogen was transformed into more available form for plants growth.

متن کاملDetermination of Bio-Oxidation Energy Released by Thermophiles in Secondary and Mixed Bio-Solids
Reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. Maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bVSS) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºC. Measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature ...
متن کاملEffect of anaerobic co-digestion of grape marc and winery wastewater on energy production
Vineyard waste and wastewater generated from wineries present significant risks to the environment if untreated. In this study, we carried out anaerobic co-digestion of grape marc and winery wastewater for energy production in the form of methane and material recovery. The results showed that milling the grape marc prior to being suspended in winery wastewater and inoculated with activated slud...
