OPTIMIZATION OF BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM CO-DIGESTION OF WASTE ACTIVATED SLUDGE AND MODIFIED TAPIOCA STARCH SLUDGE

Effect of Sludge Pre-Treatment Techniques on the Biogas Production from Waste Activated Sludge

Introduction There is a significant and inevitable fact in Turkey which is the “sludge problem” generated from the wastewater treatment plants. There are many sludge disposal techniques currently applied in Turkey such as incineration, landfilling, composting, etc.; but the disposal of sludge with those conventional methods is difficult and expensive, often requiring over 50 per cent of the ope...

Biogas Production under Co-digestion of Food Waste with Sewage Sludge

Co-digestion of Sewage Sludge and Microalgae- Biogas

Enhancement of biogas potential of primary sludge by co-digestion with cow manure and brewery sludge

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has long been used to treat different types of organic wastes especially in the developed world. However, organic wastes are still more often considered as a waste instead of a resource in the developing world, which contributes to environmental pollution arising from their disposal. This study has been conducted at Bugolobi Sewage Treatment Plant (BSTP), where two orga...

Anaerobic co-digestion of coffee waste and sewage sludge.

The feasibility of the anaerobic co-digestion of coffee solid waste and sewage sludge was assessed. Five different solid wastes with different chemical properties were studied in mesophilic batch assays, providing basic data on the methane production, reduction of total and volatile solids and hydrolysis rate constant. Most of the wastes had a methane yield of 0.24-0.28 m3 CH4(STP)/kg VS(initia...
