- Abstract
- Enhancement of anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge by enzyme addition was demonstrated in batch digestion tests. A pre-hydrolysation step with addition of enzymes at controlled temperature during 4 hours was shown to increase the methane yield significantly. Further tests with direct feeding of enzymes together with fresh sludge to the digester gave the same effect of a methane yield increase. For implementation in full-scale, different strategies for adding the enzymes were tested in batch laboratory tests and pilot-scale continuous digestion. The addition to the inlet together with fresh sludge and addition with re-circulated digested sludge were compared. Both ways resulted in significant increases in methane production. The highest...

The highest yield was achieved when enzymes were added together with fresh sludge in continuous pilot-scale digestion. Enzymatic treatment decreased the biomass vitality in the digester without reducing the methanogenic activity. (Less)
