Methane potential from anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and food waste in a stirred batch reactor
Anaerobic digestion is a promising method for organic waste stabilization, including food waste and sewage sludge. Anaerobic digestion can be completed either in mono digestion or co-digestion, respectively; no longer limited to waste stabilisation method but also towards renewable energy product...

| description |
Anaerobic digestion is a promising method for organic waste stabilization, including
food waste and sewage sludge. Anaerobic digestion can be completed either in mono
digestion or co-digestion, respectively; no longer limited to waste stabilisation method
but also towards renewable energy production in the form of methane. The cosubstrate,
a mixture of two or more organic waste, was used as a substrate in anaerobic
co-digestion. The effect on co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge and food waste
has been reported previously. However, there is less information on the digestibility
of co-substrate, specifically a mixture of domestic sewage sludge and food waste.
Hence, this study was conducted to examine the characteristics of the mixture of
domestic sewage sludge and food waste, to compare the methane yield from a batch
test of mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion and to determine the best fit between
laboratory and modelling analysis of methane kinetics. Two sets of batch
biochemical methane potential (BMP) test were conducted using Automatic Methane
Potential Test System (AMPTS II); each for digestion of co-substrate; 1) a mixture of
primary sewage sludge and food waste (PSS+FW) and 2) a mixture of secondary
sewage sludge and food waste (SSS+FW). The results showed that the addition of food
waste to domestic sewage sludge improved volatile solids to total solids (VS/TS) ratio.
Between two co-substrates, PSS+FW showed better digestibility shown by 530.4mL
methane accumulated, ultimate methane yield of 1233.57 mL CH4/g VS and methane
production rate of 625.18 CH4/gVS day. Modified Gompertz modelling found fit well
to the laboratory data indicatedby R2 of 0.997. In conclusion, co-digestion improved
the synergy effect between organic substrates, indicated by improved volatile solid,
VS to total solid, TS (VS/TS) ratio; and increased the efficiency of the anaerobic
process shown by high methane production at early stage of the digestion inline with
no lag phase. |
