Mass and volume reduction of feed solids
Reduce downstream processing costs for handling residuals
Reduction of pathogens and stabilization of organics
Reduce odor potential of final residuals products
Production of energy containing biogas
Used for process heating demands and other beneficial use (e.g., engine
generators, boilers, thermal drying)
Phosphorus release from sludge
Nutrient recovery and P reduction in final biosolids
There are a number of potential benefits of anaerobic
digestion, including:

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration increases rapidly
Bicarbonate alkalinity decreases rapidly
Reactor pH declines below 6.8 std. units
Gas production rate decreases relative to the volatile loading
to the reactor
Carbon dioxide in the digester gas increases significantly

Typical VFA/ALK = 0.02 to 0.05 (2% to 5%)
High VFA/ALK = 0.08 to 0.10 (8% to 10%)
If VFA/ALK gets to high:
VFA production exceeds VFA consumption
Organic overloading risk
Buffering capacity may be compromised
pH could drop in the reactor below 6.8
pH shift can further compromise methanogenesis
Keep VFA/ALK in the proper balance for good
digester “health”

UNIFORMITY
Strive for uniform loading rates across time
Avoid intermittent slug load feeding
Continuous feed or near continuous feed
Mixing helps provide uniformity in the reactor
CONSISTENCY
Strive for consistent blend of sludge feedstocks
Maintain temperature with minimal variation in reactor.
UNIFORMITY and CONSISTENCY – will aid operations
significantly.

“silos” and looking at “wholistic” solutions.

paradigm will require

system to provide

Other opportunities were also identified during the
primary clarifier optimization study.
BioWin calibration and
special sampling verified
“true” loadings much lower
helping “capacity crisis”
Improved primary clarifier
performance reduced loads
to secondary process
Digesters were still short
on capacity
Recommended co-
thickening to 5.5% on
RDTs replacing high
energy WAS
thickening centrifuges
