BIOGAS ENERGY AND FERTILIZING POTENTIAL FROM PAPER SLUDGE Paper sludge contains potential as energy and fertilizer due to the high amount of C, N and P. The aims of this study were to investigate resource recovery potential through biogas production from paper sludge only and with cow manure as co-substrate for 30-45 days in batch anaerobic digestion reactor. In addition, the fertilizer potential from digestate was also tested in Vetiveria zizanioides. Co-digestion with cow manure yielded higher methane gas up to 380 CH4/g VS due to a more optimum C/N ratio. Vetiver plants grown on digestate relatively showed the high growth performance after 4 weeks. The heavy metal accumulation from digestate was still in tolerable amount since the growth rate was not significantly different with the plant grown in fertilizer. Therefore, resource recovery technology can be an option to recover C, N and P in paper sludge to achieve sustainable waste management.  Keywords: ananerobic digestion; biogas;  fertilizer; paper sludge AbstrakLumpur dari Air Limbah industri kertas memiliki C, N dan P yang tinggi sehingga berpotensi menghasilkan energi dan menjadi pupuk, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti pemulihan sumber daya (resource recovery) melalui produksi biogas dari lumpur kertas tanpa dan dengan ko-substrat kotoran sapi selama 30-45 hari dalam reaktor batch anaerobic digestion. Selanjutnya potensi pupuk dari digestat juga diuji dengan tumbuhan akar wangi (Vetiveria zizanioides). Setelah 45 hari, lumpur kertas dengan kotoran sapi menghasikan gas metana yang lebih besar, yaitu 380 CH4/g VS. Tanaman akar wangi yang ditanam dengan dengan digestat R2 tumbuh relatif tinggi setelah 4 minggu. Akumulasi logam berat juga masih dalam batas aman karena laju pertumbuhannya yang masih sebanding dengan tanaman yang diberi pupuk. Oleh karena itu, pemulihan sumber daya dapat diterapkan untuk memanfaatkan C, N dan P yang terkandung dalam lumpur kertas sebagai usaha pengelolaan limbah berkelanjutan.  Kata Kunci: biogas; digestasi anaerobik; lumpur kertas; pupuk

Sewage sludge is difficult to degrade in anaerobic digestion systems and pretreatments have been shown to speed up the hydrolysis stage. In this paper sludge anaerobic digestion experiments with peracetic acid as a pretreatment were carried out and the effects of acid pretreatment using peracetic acid on subsequent digestion were investigated. It has been proved that this treatment effectively leads to a solubilisation of organic material and thus leads to a increase of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration. Besides, the SV of sludge was reduced and the settling characteristics of sludge were improved. But high dosage of peracetic acid lead to a decrease in biogas production and the proper dosage was 20 g/kg DS. It can be concluded that sludge anaerobic digestion with peracetic acid pretreatment is an effective method for biomass material transformation.

The Impact

Abstract Upgrading conventional single-stage mesophilic anaerobic digestion to an advanced digestion technology can increase sludge stability, reduce pathogen content, increase biogas production, and also increase ammonia concentrations recycled back to the liquid treatment train. Limited information is available to assess whether the higher ammonia recycle loads from an anaerobic sludge digestion upgrade would lead to higher discharge effluent ammonia concentrations. Biowin, a commercially available wastewater treatment plant simulation package, was used to predict the effects of anaerobic digestion upgrades on the liquid train performance, especially effluent ammonia concentrations. A factorial analysis indicated that the influent total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and influent alkalinity each had a 50-fold larger influence on the effluent NH3 concentration than either the ambient temperature, liquid train SRT or anaerobic digestion efficiency. Dynamic simulations indicated that the diurnal variation in effluent NH3 concentration was 9 times higher than the increase due to higher digester VSR. Higher recycle NH3 loads caused by upgrades to advanced digestion techniques can likely be adequately managed by scheduling dewatering to coincide with periods of low influent TKN load and ensuring sufficient alkalinity for nitrification.

Economic Balance

In the paper experiments and theory of biogas production using industrial waste from paper production as a co-substrate are described. The main aim of the experiments was to evaluate the sensitivity and applicability of the biochemical conversion using the anaerobic digestion of the mixed biomass in the pilot fermentor (5 m3), where the mesophillic temperature was maintained. It was in parallel operation with a large scale fermentor (100 m3). The research was carried out at the biogas plant in Kolíňany, which is a demonstration facility of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. The experiments proved that the waste arising from the paper production can be used in case of its appropriate dosing as an input substrate for biogas production, and thus it can improve the economic balance of the biogas plant.
