The mesophilic (35°C) two-phase anaerobic digestion ( TPAD) process was used to treat mixed sludge from primary sedimentation and secondary sedimentation tanks ( 1:3 ). The results show that when HRT is 10 days and organic loading rate is 1.5kgVS/ (m3•d), the upper-liquid COD of methanogenic phase and acidogenic phase increased along with time, but not obviously; The contents oSuperscript textf polysaccharides and proteins in upper-liquid multiplied increased with digestion time, polysaccharides and proteins in acidogenic phase upper-liquid were more than methanogenic phase; The value of CST became larger after being digested by mesophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion, but the dewaterability of sludge in methanogenic phase is better than acidogenic phase.

Abstract Anaerobic digestion (AD) of food waste (FW) has been gaining more interest as it has potential for the production of organic amendments with high struvite (NH4MgPO4·6H2O) content, which is a nutrient of great interest in sustainable agriculture. In this study, the influence of AD of FW in one- and two-phase configurations on methane production and the potential for struvite formation using digestate, was evaluated. It was found that the two-phase is a more efficient as its organic loading rate is 18% higher than that of one-phase configuration. In addition, the two-phase yielded a higher methane content in biogas (>60%) and a higher organic matter transformation in each of the AD stages (>20%); further, the digestate complied with the regulatory requirements for the use of organic amendments, thereby being deemed as a Type-B material with a struvite precipitation potential, exceeding 80%, as opposed to the digestate from one-phase configuration, which may represent a revenue of up to US$ 26,505 per year.

This study attempted to investigate the feasibility of volatile fatty acid (VFA) production from coffee pulp hydrolyse, and further to determine the potential of methanization of both the pre-acidified effluent and the coffee wastewater. The experiments were carried out in 2 completely mixed reactors, each one with a working volume of 4 litres. Coffee pulp was used as substrate in the acidogenic reactor and different mixtures of pulper and wash-water and pre-acidified effluent in the methanogenic one. The acidogenic and methanogenic reactors were operated at an organic loading rate of 5 COD g.l-1.d-1 and 0.5 COD g.l-1.d-1. The total, soluble and VFA's effluent COD concentrations of the acidogenic reactor present average values of 57.75, 17.00 and 13.92 g.l-1 respectively. Under these experimental conditions, 23% (COD based) of coffee pulp was hydrolysed with a rate of 1.32 gCOD.l-1.d-1 and the soluble fraction was transformed to VFA's with an acidification efficiency of 82%. Total VFA's concentration reached a value of 13.9 gCOD.l-1, and acetate, propionate, butyrate and valerate represented 52%, 28%, 9% and 11% respectively of the liquid phase COD. In the methanogenic reactor, COD removal and methanization of fresh coffee wastewater, pre-acidified effluent and both combined occur with an efficiency of 85% to 95% respectively, with a characteristic biogas composition of 80% CH4 and 20% CO2. These results show that a humid coffee ‘Beneficio’ processing daily 23 tons of cherry coffee (fresh fruit), equipped with a two stage anaerobic digestion process could generate at least 1,886 CH4 m3.d-1. This represents an increase in methane production by a factor 3 to 5 compared to a ‘Beneficio’ using anaerobic digestion only for the treatment of its wastewater.
