The start-up costs, which mak...

HEAD START – an innovative training approach for life-long learning

The Transition Stage in the Start-up of an Anaerobic Sludge Digester

The start up &#10 dynamics of a one-million and two-hundred-thousand liter anaerobic digester of municipal waste treatment sludge was studied. In the digester, mixing was accomplished by circulation of the produced biogas at a rate of 0.13 m3 per hour of the digester volume per hour. During the nine-month study, no serious phenomena of foaming, getting sour, temperature fall, etc. were observe...
