Performances of Leaching-UBF Anaerobic Digestion for Biogas Production of Kitchen Waste

Abstract:

The performances of leaching-upflow blanket filter (UBF) anaerobic digestion for biogas production of kitchen waste was investigated. To find out the process parameter variations of acidification phase and the methane production performance of methanogenic phase, kitchen waste from division of environment sanitation management of Changzhou was used as feedstock. The results show that the ammonia in anaerobic system cumulated continuously throughout the digestion; pH value maintained at7.6; At first the value of COD ranged from 20000 mg/L to 140000 mg/L to the final UBF water 10000mg/L to 12000 mg/L; Volatile fatty acid (VFA) reduced to 150mg/L with the increase of the days; total nitrogen increases first and then decreases, finally, it keeps at 1600 mg/L; The concentration of alkalinity increased slightly; biogas production is stable, The rate of gas generation is above0.30 m3/kgCOD . These results provide a proof of the feasibility for kitchen waste anaerobic methane fermentation.
