English Abstract
Waste to energy (WTE) technology is one aspect of wastewater management that deals with wastewater to reduce the waste volume and to produce energy.
Anaerobic digestion technology is one method of waste to energy technology.
Treating wastewater by co-digestion processes reduces the amount of organic material in the wastewater and produces biogas.
This work investigates the Co-digestion of Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) and domestic sludge to produce methane gas.
The research involves studying the effect of mixing OMWW with domestic sludge at different mixing ratios on methane production rate.
Different ratios of OMWW: Sludge were prepared (100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, 10:90) with two replicates of each ratio.
A total solid content of 5 g was fixed in each ratio.
The co-digestion process was monitored for 27 days at a temperature of 37° C.
The final Treated Organic Matter (TOM) was subjected to characterization, namely: total solid, total volatile solid, total nitrogen, total phosphor, and trace elements concentration.
The results indicated that the productivity of methane gas increased with increasing the percentage of OMWW in the mixed feed.
In addition, the amount of total nitrogen and total phosphor in the final TOM are within acceptable limits to be used as soil amendment.
The concentrations of trace elements are below the maximum allowable limits except the concentrations of some heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Zn, Pb).
This finding indicates that the effluent water must be subjected to further treatment or dilution to guarantee that the concentration of heavy metals within acceptable limits.
Anaerobic co-digestion for OMWW and domestic sludge is a useful and efficient tool to produce energy.
This energy can be utilized in many fields such as generation of electricity.
The process also protects the environment from the adverse effect of disposed untreated wastewater and domestic sewage sludge.
