| Abstract | Wastes deriving from pig breading facilities as well as slaughterhouses were treated with the use of anaerobic co-digestion process in 4 x 50lt anaerobic stirred tank reactors operated under thermophilic conditions (55 0C ± 20C). Three different mixes were used in a 100 days experiment aiming on assessing the possibility of utilisation of pig manure and slaughterhouse wastes as co-substrates in anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic co-digestion of such wastes resulted in biogas production ranging between 0.25 and 0.31 m3 /kg vsadded. pH values fluctuated between 6.8 and 6.2 during the co-digestion period and Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) was also measured at ranges between 0.5 and 2g/l. |
