Anaerobic Co-digestion of the Liquid Fraction of Food Waste with Waste Activated Sludge

AbstractThe present study investigated the feasibility of the anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of condensate, resulting from drying food waste, with Waste Activated Sludge in a pilot scale continuous stirred tank reactor. Different parameters were assessed in order to enhance the AcoD performance; the condensate potency (condensate A: 13 gCOD/L and condensate B: 4 gCOD/L), the volumetric ratio of condensate to WAS (0–67% v/v) and the hydraulic retention time (HRT) (20, 15 and 12 days). The results showed that increasing the condensate content in the feed from 0 to 67% v/v, enhances the organic load removal (up to 41% increased total COD removal) and the bioenergy production (up to 35% increased biomethane production). Moreover, in the case of condensate A, the reduction of HRT from 20 to 15 days enhanced the bioenergy production (up to 19% increased biomethane production) while the reduction of HRT from 20 to 12 days in the case of condensate B did not significantly affect the reactor’s performance. Overall it is concluded that condensate can be safely introduced in existing facilities for anaerobic digestion, while maintaining a more stable operation and improved effluent quality and bioenergy production in comparison with conventional anaerobic sludge digestion.
