Enhancement of Methane Productivity of Anaerobic Reactors of Wasterwater Treatment Plants Aare Kuusik, E. Loigu, O. Sokk, Argo KuusikEstonia
Objectives of Experiments: • Enhancement of methane productivity of existing anaerobic reactors • To get rid of inconvenient waste solids: waste glycerol and fishery residues • To resolve above problems in one process
Maintenance of Reactors • Mesophilictemperature 36-39 oC, mainly 37-38 oC • Batch type or fill and draw input-output of sludge every morning • Before and after the input-output process the contents of the reactors were mixed • Producedbiogaswasevaluated
Concentrations were measured • Every morning: pH, H2S, NH3, CO2, O2 • Once a week: TS and VS, VFA and alkalinity • of input and output sludge
