Abstract

This paper examines the impact of increasing organic loading in a two phase anaerobic digestion system treating commercial food waste. The first phase is a series of sequentially fed leach bed reactors (LBRs). The second phase is an upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB). Leachate from the leach beds, form the influent to the UASB. Effluent from the UASB is re-circulated over the leach beds. Flow rates corresponded to 1 volume of leachate per effective LBR volume per day. The theoretical organic loading rate (OLR) of the UASB is based on the conversion of volatile solids (VS) in the LBR to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The experiment was set up such that the theoretical OLR would rise from 7.1 to 8.8 to 11.8kgCODm−3day−1.
