Abstract

In this study, Anaerobic Digestion Model No.1 (ADM1) was modified to incorporate changes in biochemical parameters due to solids retention time (SRT) variations. Cattle manure (CM) and thermally hydrolyzed CM were selected for testing. Continuous anaerobic digestion reactors were operated under different SRT conditions ranging from 6.6 to 36.0 days for both samples. The biochemical parameters (kch, kli, kpr, um,ac, um,bu, um,pro, um,va, Kac, Kbu, Kpro, and Kva) for each SRT condition were determined. To modify ADM1, the equations obtained through linear regression were substituted into biochemical parameters as a function of SRT. The modified ADM1 demonstrated superior accuracy compared with conventional ADM1. This study implies the feasibility of optimizing biochemical parameters for modeling in response to changes in environmental variables.
