Abstract: | The supernatant of hydrothermally treated sludge was treated by an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for a 550-days running test. The hydrothermal parameter was 170 °C for 60 min. An mesophilic 8.6 L UASB reactor was seeded with floc sludge. The final organic loading rate (OLR) could reach 18 kg COD/m3 d. At the initial stage running for 189 days, the feed supernatant was diluted, and the OLR reached 11 kg COD/m3 d. After 218 days, the reactor achieved a high OLR, and the supernatant was pumped into the reactor without dilution. The influent COD fluctuated from 20,000 to 30,000 mg/L and the COD removal rate remained at approximately 70%. After 150 days, granular sludge was observed. The energy balance calculation show that heating 1.0 kg sludge needs 0.34 MJ of energy, whereas biogas energy from the supernatant of the heated sludge is 0.43 MJ. |
