Combination of High Pressure and Thermal Hydrolysis Pretreatment Effect on Sludge

Abstract:

In 110-190°C for 15-75 min of excess sludge thermal hydrolysis experiment, inspected the volatile suspended solid dissolution rate, the concentration of sludge SCOD, TCOD, components of organic acids in the supernatant fluid changes,such as sewage thermal hydrolysis characteristics, analysis the effect to improve the performance of sludge anaerobic digestion. The results show that with the increase of thermal hydrolysis temperature and time, SCOD and VFA in the sludge supernatant on rising. Under the condition of 190°C,75min, SCOD and VFA reached a maximum of 6674 mg/L,2630 mg/L; Release of sludge organic dissolved solids,COD and other major completed in the first 45 min,after 45 min changed little; Thermal hydrolysis temperature was between 90~170°C,sludge anaerobic digestion performance increases with temperature,when the temperature was higher than 170°C,sludge anaerobic digestion performance began to decline.
