Methane biogas production through anaerobic digestion (or biomethanation) is one of the few technologies that both produce bioenergy and protect the environment. When the focus of anaerobic digestion (AD) is shifted from primarily wastewater treatment to bioenergy production, efficiency and process stability become critical to the economic viability of AD technologies. Temperature-phased anaerobic digestion (TPAD) is a promising process that can significantly enhance both digestion efficiency and process robustness. A TPAD system separates the conventional AD process into two phases, so both phases can be optimized according to their individual functional needs. In the first, thermophilic phase, the often rate-limiting hydrolysis step of polymeric feedstock is accelerated by elevated temperatures, while in the second, mesophilic phase, the fastidious syntrophic acetogens and methanogens are provided with permissive conditions where inhibitions to key guilds (e.g., syntrophic acetogens and methanogens) are attenuated. Although large-scale TPAD systems have not been applied widely, researchers have demonstrated the potential superiority of TPAD systems over single-stage digesters and other AD processes with enhanced VS (volatile solids) and pathogen removal; increased methane yield, process stability, OLR (organic loading rate); shorter HRT (hydraulic retention time); decreased foaming and short-chain fatty acids in effluent.
