| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to understand the capacity and mechanism of the anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) using ethanol prefermentation. The mesophilic sequential batch experiment was compared in two series whose substrates were either ethanol-prefermented artificial food waste or a nonprefermented one used as control. The control series failed due to VFA overaccumulation at 13 g/L/d of CODcr volumetric loading, whereas, the ethanol prefermentation series achieved a stable operation with the same methane yield at 33 g/L/d, which is 2.5 times higher than the control series and the highest loading yet. The reasons for the high loading operation observed are discussed from the perspective of VFA, bacterial population, and biogas production rate. The information about ethanol fermentation as a pretreatment was also obtained on saccharification procedure and the ability of some yeasts.
