ABSTRACT

This study arose in response to the management of different organic wastes generated locally, which cause environmental damage. These wastes could be used to obtain biogas and class A biosolids through anaerobic digestion. For this purpose, the mesophilic anaerobic tri-digestion of sewage sludge (S), wine vinasse (V) and poultry manure (PM) (49.5:49.5:1) was studied to obtain biogas in an improved way compared to bi-digestion of SV (50:50) and mono-digestion of S. Tests were carried out in anaerobic digesters, at laboratory scale, to compare the benefits at different hydraulic retention time (HRT) (20, 15, 13, 10, 8 and 6 days). From the results obtained, anaerobic tri-digestion of the waste gave the best results, with a total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal efficiency of 51%, volatile solids (VS) removal efficiency of 57%, and methane yield values of 261 mLCH4/gVSadded at a HRT of 13 days. In relation to the pathogens, both co-digestion studies addressed managed to inactivate enough pathogens in the effluent to be classified as class A biosolids. This would allow considering the anaerobic tri-digestion as a promising technology, which allows valorizing organic waste, obtaining biogas and class A biosolids, moving towards a circular bioeconomy.
