Anaerobic digestion at hyperthermophilic conditions shows great potential in degrading waste activated sludge, with methane yield four times higher than mesophilic digestion. The high temperature benefits the conversion of non-degradable fractions and significantly improves hydrolysis efficiency, but stability issues may arise when the organic loading is too high.
Anaerobic digestion is promising for waste activated sludge (WAS) degradation. However, conventional processes were generally stuck with limited hydrolysis and poor pathogen destruction. Hyperthermophilic digestion at 70 degrees C has drawn attention in overcoming those issues at a relatively low energy requirement and operating difficulties. In order to illuminate its operation characteristics, a single-stage hyperthermophilic digester was controlled at 70 degrees C and operated continuously to degrade WAS. 88.7 mL/g VSadded of methane yield could be achieved in the hyperthermophilic system, fourfold higher than that in the mesophilic system. Kinetic analysis revealed that hyperthermophilic digestion was advantageous in converting the non-degradable fraction. Consequently, hydrolysis under the hyperthermophilic condition was able to be significantly improved. Above 10 d was necessary for the hyperthermophilic system to gain such a high methane production. In the case of stability, the organic loading of higher than 10.2 g VS/L/d resulted in increasing limitation from methanogenesis and accumulation of propionic, butyric and valeric acids. In addition to the dominant acetoclastic genus Methanothrix for methane production in the hyperthermophilic system, two hydrogenotrophic methanogens Methanospirillum and Methanothermobacter reached 18.84% and 8.31%, respectively. The genus Coprothermobacter, affiliated with the phylum Firmicutes, made more contribution to protein hydrolysis in the hyperthermophilic digester. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
