Abstract

Due to the rising concerns regarding food waste disposal as well as the increasing demand for renewable energy nowadays, a number of European countries have adopted anaerobic co-digestion, a technology that deals with food waste and sewage sludge. As stated in the HKSAR Government’s Policy Address 2016, the feasibility of using existing sewage treatment facilities for co-digestion of food waste and sewage sludge has been under exploration. A trial scheme has been commenced in 2019. This paper aims to compare the efficiency of biogas production and volatile solid reduction in co-digestion of food waste and sewage with mono-digestion in laboratory scale.
