Abstract

An efficient biogas production out of organic (waste) materials is important to contribute to a carbon-neutral future. In this study, thermophilic press water (PW) coming from an organic fraction of the municipal solid waste digester was further digested in a thermo- and mesophilic posttreatment approach using two semicontinuous 14 L digesters. The results showed that the PW can still have considerable high biogas potential-at least during the touristic high season in central Europe. The change in temperature led to an increase in volatile fatty acid concentrations and a decrease in biogas production in the mesophilic approach in the first days. However, the losses in biogas production at the beginning could be compensated thus there were no considerable differences in biogas production between thermo- and mesophilic posttreatment at the end of incubation. This can most probably be contributed to a change in the microbial community, and potentially problematic intermediates like valerate could be better degraded in the mesophilic reactor. Especially the abundance of representatives of the phylum Bacteroidota, like Fermentimonas spp., increased during mesophilic anaerobic digestion.
