Effect of temperature and hydraulic retention time on volatile fatty acid production based on bacterial community structure in anaerobic acidogenesis using swine wastewater

Abstract: To investigate the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and temperature (T) on bacterial community structure and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production of an acidogenic process, and VFA production and changes in the bacterial community in three identical automated anaerobic continuously-stirred tank reactors were analyzed using response surface analysis (RSA) and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). For RSA, 11 trials were conducted to find the combination of T and HRT under which VFA production was … Show more

“…As a measure that is related to the loading rate, a shorter HRT corresponds to a higher loading rate. As such, shorter HRTs are known to be associated with VFA acidification, which could bring inhibitory effects [ 56 ]. Nonetheless, shorter HRTs allow for increased process efficiency and decreased capital costs, although longer HRTs are necessary for the digestion of lignocellulosic wastes [ 57 ].…”

“…The results obtained by Kim et al showed that hydraulic reaction time contributed more to VFA production rather than the temperature of the reactor. 17 Obviously, a longer reaction time provides enough time for microbes to react with the substrate; this subsequently benefits VFA production. However, there is an optimal reaction time beyond which there is no further increase in VFA production.…”

“…Undoubtedly, the two-stage AD process is favorable because the conditions in the two reactors can be optimized separately for acidogenic and methanogenic microorganisms. However, the need for an additional large reactor for wastewater acidification can make the two-stage process more costly than the single-stage process [28].…”
