The impact of continuous removal of volatile fatty acids on fermentative hydrogen production from food waste (FW) in a Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) was evaluated. Two experimental phases were conducted, a control phase and one in which volatile fatty acids were removed continuously from the reactor for the first time by electrodialysis (ED). Hydrogen yields were 64.7 cm 3 H 2 /g VS and 227.3 cm 3 H 2 /g VS for control phase, and ED phase respectively. Continuous removal of volatile fatty acids during fermentation not only increased H 2 yields but increased the production of volatile fatty acids (a valuable chemical feedstock) from 0.14 g/g VS to 0.34 g/g VS .
