Enhancing methane production using anaerobic co-digestion of waste activated sludge with combined fruit waste and cheese whey

摘要

BackgroundRecently, it has been indicated that anaerobic co-digestion of waste activated sludge with other waste streams at wastewater treatment plants is a promising strategy for enhancing methane production and materials recovery. The enhanced methane production can be used as a renewable source of energy in wastewater treatment plants. It can also reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emission in landfilling of the waste streams.
