The effect of primary and secondary sludge mix ratios on VFA production in thermophilic aerobic digestion using pilot scale ATAD units

Research was undertaken to determine if a mixture primary and secondary sludge could provide increased volatile fatty acid (VFA) production, as compared with primary sludge alone, in a thermophilic aerobic digestion process. In addition, pre-solubilization of the secondary sludge, with NaOH, was...
