Conclusions I
Increasing temperature to thermophilic level and
improvement of mixing efficiency have led to a
better utilization of the existing facilities, more
efficient destroying pathogens and avoided digester
overloading and foaming.
The destruction of activated sludge bacteria cells
during the thickening increased the portion of more
easily degradable constituents of the sludge.
The overall higher process efficiency is associated
with the higher biogas production and improvement
of the energy balance of the process.
Conclusions II
Energy self-sufficiency of municipal wastewater
treatment plant can be achieved due to the advanced
anaerobic digestion of the sludge produced during
the treatment process.
The necessary condition for energy balance
improvement is optimization of the total energy
consumption at the wastewater treatment plant.
Thank you
