Abstract
Aquaculture fish production is experiencing an increasing trend worldwide and determines environmental concerns mainly related to the emission of pollutants. The present work is focused on the improvement of the sustainability of this sector by assessing the anaerobic digestion (AD) of slurry. Wastewater from experimental plants for the production of trout (Udine, Italy) was subject to screening by a drum filter, and then to thickening in a settling tank. The thickened sludge, representing the input of AD, was characterized by total and volatile solids contents of 3969.1–9705.3 and 2916.4–7154.9 mg/l, respectively. The AD was performed in a containerized unit with two digesters (D1 and D2), biogas meters and monitoring of the temperature, pH and redox potential. Both reactors are mixed by a recirculation of the digestate, and reactor D2 is equipped with a fixed bed. The tests were performed at 38°C with diversified loading rates and hydraulic retention times (HRT). HRT varied from 28.9 to 20.3 days for D1 and from 18.3 to 9.3 days for D2. Methane yields resulted as highest for the hybrid digester with the longest HRT (779.8 Nl of CH4/kg VS, 18.3 days). The conventional digester presented its best performance, 648.8 Nl of CH4/kgVS, with an HRT of 20.3 days.
