Enzymatic pre-treatment for enhancement of primary sludge fermentation

This research showed the interrelated impact of cellulase enzyme, temperature, and SRT on enhancement of primary and rotating belt filter (PS, RBF) sludges fermentation. SRTs of 1, 2, and 4-days were tested at 25 °C and 35 °C. Enzymatic enhancement was examined using three different doses of enzyme (i.e. 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of the total solids in the feed). The results showed a positive impact of enzyme dose as well as temperature and SRT on VFA...
