FIW, food industry waste; OFMSW, organic fraction municipal solid waste; PS, primary sewage sludge; SHW, slaughterhouse waste; WAS, waste‐activated sludge.

a. 2–6% fat is included in the remaining substrate.

b. 1–1.5% iron‐rich sludge is included in the remaining substrate.

c. 8% pig manure is included in the remaining substrate.
