Abstract
► pH control and hydraulic flush improved anaerobic leach bed reactors' performance. ► pH control improved hydrolysis and VFA production. ► Neutral pH produced butyric and Acetic acid; Acetic acid was inhibited at low pH. ► Hydraulic flush enhanced solids degradation and VFA production. ► Hydraulic flush caused cellulolytic microbes wash out; pH control counteracted this.
