The performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) fed with three metabolic intermediate (acetate, ethanol, and propionate) respectively was studied. The degradation of metabolic intermediate were investigated to discuss the reason for propionate inhibition problem in anaerobic treatment. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) in the reactors started with 8.0h.The yield rate of biogas were 237ml/gCOD, 242ml/gCOD, 218ml/gCOD for acetate, ethanol and propionate, respectively when finishing start-up under OLR of 5.0 kgCOD/(m3·d) (HRT=9.6h).The HRT remained constant 9.6h,and the substrate concentration was gradually increased from 1,000 to 16,000mg/L as COD,and the organic loading rates(OLR) was from 3.0 to 40.0 kgCOD/(m3·d).The maximum propionate concentration was 41.6 gHPr-COD/L at the organic loading rate of 43.9 kgCOD/(m3·d) (HRT, 9.6h) as well as acetate and ethanol.

This study investigated the efficiency of biogas production from sewage concentrate through anaerobic digestion. A continuous stirred tank reactor with a 900-mL working volume was used. The experiment was designed to investigate the influence of organic loading rate on the efficiency of biogas production and to determine the most suitable organic loading rate condition for methane production from sewage concentrate by using continuous stirred tank reactor. The reactor was operated at different organic loading rates of 1.8, 0.8, and 0.6 gCOD/(L.d). The methane composition of the biogas produced from the treatment organic loading rate (OLR). The beginning of the experiment recorded low methane production because of the high organic loading rate. However, the later part of the experiment recorded high and stable biogas production because of the relatively low OLR. Results suggested that a 0.6 gCOD/(L.d) OLR was the most efficient setup parameter for ideal methane production from sewage concentrate by using continuous stirred tank reactor.
