Effect of a Starch‐Rich Industrial Wastewater on the Acid‐Phase Anaerobic Digestion Process
This research investigated the effect of varying the starch‐rich, industrial‐wastewater component of mixtures with municipal wastewater fed to an anaerobic digester. A laboratory‐scale, completely‐mixed anaerobic digester was operated at an HRT of 30 h, an SRT of 10 d, and an ambient temperature of 21.5 ± 1.5 °C. The industrial‐to‐municipal ratios tested were 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, and 100% industrial by volume. Steady‐state, acidogenic conditions were achieved for all runs, except 100% industrial. The pH was observed to drop substantially as the industrial constituent of the feed increased. Net volatile fatty acids (VFA) production reached a plateau of approximately 800 mg/L at ratios of 1:1 and higher, while volatile suspended solids (VSS) reduction steadily increased as the industrial component rose. The specific VFA and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) production rates leveled off at approximately 0.070 mgVFA/mgVSS·d and 0.124 mgSCOD/mgVSS·d, respectively, for all the mixtures investigated, except for 100% industrial. In this latter case, both rates dropped dramatically. Finally, acetic and propionic acid concentrations fell as the industrial proportion of the mixture increased. This was compensated by a rise in butyric acid production.
