Anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge is a promising and efficient method for wastewater and sludge treatment. This study focused on the applicability of measuring techniques, specifically viscosity and dielectric measurement. The results showed that microwave pre-treatment enhances fermentation and reduces viscosity, while not changing the overall tendencies of the anaerobic digestion process. Additionally, dielectric and absolute viscosity measurements were effective methods for monitoring the fermentation process.
The anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastewater sludge presents a promising and efficient method of wastewater and sludge treatment, as it can lower the organic content of sludge while producing a renewable source of energy-biogas-at the same time. However, using native, non-treated industrial wastewater sludge as a substrate for AD may present difficulties, hence we focused our research primarily on the applicability of measuring techniques-viscosity and dielectric measurement. One of our research goals was to investigate the presence of any connection between the aforementioned properties and the overall biogas production, in order to prove whether these measurement techniques were capable of monitoring the process of AD. Our other aim was to investigate how microwave (MW) pre-treatment affected the anaerobic fermentation. Our results revealed that in terms of total biogas yield, microwave irradiation could enhance fermentation by 14%, and also reduced the viscosity of the fermentation media by 13%. However, microwave irradiation did not change the overall tendencies of the AD process regarding these aspects. Moreover, it was discovered that dielectric and absolute viscosity measurements were effective methods for monitoring the fermentation. Additionally, a correlation was found between the accumulating biogas yield, the dielectric constant and loss factor, and the absolute viscosity of the digested media-each of these share a similarity in tendency and can indicate the occurrence of different phases during batch anaerobic fermentation.
