Effect of inhibitory compounds on the two-phase anaerobic digestion performance of diluted wastewaters from the alimentary industry
چکیده انگلیسی

This paper deals with the quantitative measurement of the influence of different inhibitory compounds present in olive oil mill and winery industrial wastewaters on their anaerobic digestion treatment. Specifically, the physical separation of the two stages (acidogenic and methanogenic) that comprise the anaerobic digestion process, and the acclimation time of the microorganisms have been evaluated.First, a series of experiments with glucose model solutions made clear that external pH control (>8) in methanogenic reactor is a key factor to guarantee suitable overall chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals and biogas production rates in a two-phase operation. Next, a response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to quantify the effect of olive oil, ethanol and phenol (in form of synthetic solutions simulating diluted real wastewaters) on the two above mentioned responses. According to the results of this method, inhibiting power of these compounds follows the order: ethanol > phenol ≫ olive oil.Although the general trends observed in a two-stage anaerobic digestion process do not differ much from the ones obtained in a single-stage process, it should be emphasized the higher stability of the process, with yields >60% even in the presence of moderate concentrations of inhibiting compounds (0.25% w/w olive oil, 75 mg L−1 phenol and 125 mg L−1 ethanol).


► The increase in acclimation time (from 15 to 30 d) leads to a better performance.
► The physical separation of acido- and methanogenesis leads to a higher stability.
► After addition of moderate concentrations of inhibitors, the yield is still 60%.
► The control of pH in reactor 2 is important to improve the methanogenic activity.
► From RSM, the order in inhibiting power is: ethanol > phenol ≫ olive oil.
