Effect of temperature increase from 55 To 65 deg.C on performance and microbial population dynamics of an anaerobic reactor treating cattle manure

摘要

The effect of a temperature increase from 55 to 65 deg.C on process performance and microbial population dynamics were investigated in thermophilic, lab-scale, continuously stirred tank reactors. The reactors had a working volume of 31 and were fed with cattle manure at an organic loading rat of 3 g VS/l reactor volume/d. The hydraulic retention time in the reactors was 15 days.
