Anaerobic co-digestion of pear residues and sewage sludge using a CSTR digester. Influence of the feed procedure

Abstract

Anaerobic co-digestion of pear residues with sewage sludge is feasible. Important differences are obtained from the two feed regimes tested, with better results for the so-called continuous feed. The organic loading rate (OLR) is the important parameter for the methane production
