[Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor for the digestion of thermo-hydrolyzed sludge under thermophilic and mesophilic conditions].

Parallel laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) for the digestion of thermo-hydrolyzed sewage sludge. The average total COD (TCOD) removal rates of thermophilic, mesophilic ASBR at 10-day HRT and 5.42 kg/(m3 x d) TCOD loading rate were 56.
