Biotechnology for intensive aerobic bioconversion of sewage sludge and food waste into fertilizer was developed. The wastes were treated in a closed reactor under controlled aeration, stirring, pH, and temperature at 60¡C, after addition of starter bacterial culture Bacillus thermoamylovorans. The biodegradation of sewage sludge was studied by decrease of volatile solids (VS), content of organic carbon and autofluorescence of coenzyme F420. The degradation of anaerobic biomass was faster than biodegradation of total organic matter. The best fertilizer was obtained when sewage sludge was thermally pre-treated, mixed with food waste, chalk, and artificial bulking agent. The content of volatile solid and the content of organic carbon decreased at 24.8% and 13.5% of total solids, respectively, during ten days of bioconversion. The fertilizer was a powder with moisture content of 5%. It was stable, and not toxic for the germination of plant seeds. Addition of 1.0 to 1.5% of this fertilizer to the subsoil increased the growth of different plants tested by 113 to 164%. The biotechnology can be applied in larger scale for the recycling of sewage sludge and food wastes in Singapore.

Abstract To accelerate the degradation of substrate, 50% liquid digestate recirculation (LDR) was used in the anaerobic digestion (AD) of corn straw. The effects of recirculation on the enzyme activities and biogas production were investigated by comparing with control reactor (ReactorCK). During the AD process, the fermentation system with 50% LDR was more stable. The average biogas and methane production in ReactorLDR were 7,891 mL·d−1 and 347 mL CH4·g−1 VSadded·d−1 respectively. The total volatile fatty acids (TVFAs) concentration in the two reactors both increased at first and then decreased with time. The LDR made the VFAs accumulation significant, especially propionic acid accumulation in 4 ∼ 16 days. The maximum peak value of cellulase, xylanase, dehydrogenase and coenzyme F420 activities in ReactorLDR were 0.51 mg·g−1·h−1, 0.29 mg·g−1·h−1, 4.88 mL·g−1·h−1 and 6.69 μmol·L−1, respectively, which were higher than that in ReactorCK. With or without recirculation, the concentration of TVFAs was positively correlated with cellulase, xylanase and dehydrogenase activities, while was negatively correlated with coenzyme F420 activity. Besides, a very significant correlation existed between hydrolase and dehydrogenase activities and daily biogas production in ReactorCK. And the peaks of cellulase, xylanase and dehydrogenase activities appeared ahead of the peak of daily biogas production with the LDR.
