Anaerobic treatment of oily substrate, known as grease trap waste (GTW), was investigated for its practicability via continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at different operating conditions and selected recovery strategies of feeding frequency efficacy. This study determine the performance of feeding frequency efficacy, namely feeding every 24 hours (R) and feeding every 12 hours (R). Under organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.

In this study, ammonium bicarbonate was used to provide the nitrogenous substrate and buffering potential. To regulate the impact of ammonium bicarbonate toxicity on the anaerobic co-digestion system, dosages from 0 to 40 mg/L were supplemented.

However, the anaerobic codigestion of catering waste leachate with algal biomass and sewage sludge has not been studied to date. The present study investigated methane generation by the anaerobic codigestion of different mixtures of catering waste leachate, microalgal biomass, and sewage sludge.
