| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performances and microbial diversities for development of the effective hyperthermophilic digester system that consists of a hyperthermophilic reactor and hyperthermophilic or thermophilic reactor in series. Lab-scale reactors were operated continuously fed with artificial kitchen garbage. The effect of temperature on the acidification step was firstly investigated. Results indicated that 20.8% of COD solubilization was achieved at 70 degrees C, with 12.6% at 80 degrees C. The average protein solubilization reached 31% at 80 degrees C. Methane conversion efficiency following the acidification was around 85% on average at 55 degrees C, but decreased with increasing temperature and methane gas was not produced over 73 degrees C. As well, bacteria affiliated with the methanogens dominated the population below 65 degrees C, while those affiliated with acidogens were predominant over 73 degrees C. These results indicated that the hyperthermophilic process has considerable benefits to treat wastewater or waste containing high concentration of protein. |
