| Abstract: | This study explores the use of conductive material in scaling up anaerobic digestion for enhanced biogas production. Focusing on Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET), the research employs a syntrophic DIET-able consortium formed by Shewanella oneidensis and Methanosarcina barkerii in 3.8-L experiments utilizing reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) as conductive material. In short-term tests with acetate the syntrophic co-culture with RVC resulted in 86% higher maximum velocity of methane production, while in long term with real feed 13% increased rate was observed: the addition of 1.77 (S/m)*m2 RVC resulted in a faster methane production of 2.39 mL/gVS*h compared to 2.08 mL/gVS*h of the reference. The experimental conditions of syntrophic inoculum and RVC as conductive material gave a benefit in terms of process rate compared to the reference, considering the inoculum fate, Methanosarcina barkerii was among the dominant taxa at the end of the experiment, while Shewanella oneidensis was outcompeted. Among the methanogenesis production pathways, an increase of hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis has been observed in presence of conductive material. Further research is needed to understand the role of RVC in sulfur compounds production. Utilization of RVC to augment methane production yielded interesting results for real-scale application. As an added carrier, RVC remains unaltered and can be readily recuperated and reused multiple times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
