Anaerobic digestion of waste and biomass by use of lactobacillus culture additives

摘要: An improved digestion process applicable to aerobic and anaerobic digesters is provided for waste treatment facilities during normal overload conditions. The system utilizes the addition of a lactobacillus fermentation product in concentration sufficient improve units without deleteriously affecting load In addition, use facilitates recovery digester systems from sour conditions ("stuck digesters") relatively short periods time. Further, ability operate at higher-than-normal loadings lower-than-normal detention times permits existing not only peak which would otherwise be subjected overloadings, but able actually twice designed loading, thus allowing increased capacity incurring new capital equipment costs.
