Samples from anaerobic sludges used in this study
| Sample name | Sludge type | Reactor operation temp (°C) | Waste/wastewater | Influent CODcra (mg/liter) | Influent lipids (mg·CODcr/liter) | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MP | Granular | 35 | POMEb | 2,000 | 430 | Our laboratory |
| TP | Granular | 55 | POME | 3,000 | 650 | Our laboratory |
| JET | Digester | 55 | Municipal solid waste | 93,500c | —d | Niigata, Japan |
| MBF | Digester | 35 | POME | 81,000 | 10,000 | Selangor, Malaysia |
a
Chemical oxygen demand as determined using dichromate (CODcr).
b
POME, palm oil mill effluent.
c
Data from the digester plant were used because we could not obtain raw influent material.
d
—, concentration of lipids was not determined because we could not obtain raw influent material.
