Notes:
A mixed culture anaerobic digestion model developed previously was applied to the evaluation of several digester control strategies. It was found that pH control by base addition or flow rate manipulation is inadequate. Based on an analysis of digester dynamics, a new control of the total suspended solids concentration at the feed was proposed through the manipulation of the underflow flow rate of the preceeding sedimentation unit. This control was tested in a variety of simulated runs and proved very effective in eliminating most of the usual causes of digester failure.
