Changes in dissolved chemical oxygen demand, volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and methane production during the anaerobic fermentation, and methane production during the accumulation test. (A) Dissolved chemical oxygen demand, dissolved volatile fatty acids and methane production during the anaerobic biodegradability test with a ten times diluted liquid fraction (20 ml in a total of 200 ml). Data were corrected for the blank. (B) Methane production during the accumulation test where the ratio of the liquid fraction to sludge was increased. All data are represented as averages of duplicate experiments.
