The IWA Anaerobic Digestion Modelling Task Group was established in 1997 at the 8th World Congress on (Sendai, Japan) with goal of developing a generalised anaerobic digestion model. structured model includes multiple steps describing biochemical as well physico-chemical processes. include disintegration from homogeneous particulates to carbohydrates, proteins and lipids; extracellular hydrolysis these particulate substrates sugars, amino acids, long chain fatty acids (LCFA), respectively;...
ABSTRACT The influence of environmental parameters on the diversity methanogenic communities in 15 full-scale biogas plants operating under different conditions with either manure or sludge as feedstock was studied. Fluorescence situ hybridization used to identify dominant members Archaea reactor samples; enriched and pure cultures were support identification. Dominance could be identified by a positive response more than 90% total specific group- order-level probe. There clear dichotomy...
ABSTRACT The oxidation of acetate to hydrogen, and the subsequent conversion hydrogen carbon dioxide methane, has been regarded largely as a niche mechanism occurring at high temperatures or under inhibitory conditions. In this study, 13 anaerobic reactors sediment from temperate lake were surveyed for their dominant methanogenic population by using fluorescent in situ hybridization degree relative aceticlastic radiolabeled [2- 14 C]acetate batch incubations. When Methanosaetaceae not...

Anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) is currently enjoying renewed interest due to the potential for methane production. However, production often limited by slow hydrolysis rate and/or poor WAS. This study presents a novel pretreatment strategy based on free nitrous acid (FNA or HNO2) enhance from Pretreatment WAS 24 h at FNA concentrations up 2.13 mg N/L substantially enhanced solubilization, with highest solubilization (0.16 chemical oxygen demand (COD)/mg volatile solids...
Throughout the 20th century, prevailing approach toward nitrogen management in municipal wastewater treatment was to remove ammonium by transforming it into dinitrogen (N2) using biological processes such as conventional activated sludge. While this has been a very successful strategy for safeguarding human health and protecting aquatic ecosystems, conversion of its elemental form is incompatible with developing circular economy 21st century. Equally important, sludge process other emerging...
