Kinetics of biogas production and chemical oxygen demand removal from compost leachate in an anaerobic migrating blanket reactor.

In this study, laboratory anaerobic migrating blanket reactor (AMBR) with four units was used to reduce and remove COD leachate of composting process; it was also used to determine the kinetic coefficients of COD removal and biogas and methane gas production in several different OLRs. The maximum concentration of organic matter entering the reactor was 100,000 mg/L and the reactor was under operation for 319 days. The results showed that the COD removal efficiency of AMBR in all concentrations of substrate entering the reactor was above 80%. First-order model and Stover-Kincannon were used to investigate the kinetics of COD removal via AMBR biological process; in addition, the two models of Modified Stover-Kincannon and Van der Meer and Heertjes were used to check the kinetic constants of biogas and methane gas production. The results obtained from the models showed that the experimental data on COD removal were more consistent with the results obtained from Stover-Kincannon model (R2  = 0.999) rather than with the First-order model (R2  = 0.926). Kinetic constants calculated via Stover-Kincannon model were as follows: saturation value constant (KB) and maximum utilization rate constants (Umax ), respectively, were 208,600 mg/L d and 172,400 mg/L d. We investigated the linear relationship between the experimental data and the values predicted by the models; as compared with the values predicted by the First-order model, the values predicted by Stover-Kincannon model were closer to the values measured via experiments. Based on the results of the evaluation of kinetic coefficients of Stover-Kincannon model, with the migration of the leachate flow from unit 1 to unit 4, Umax value has fallen significantly. The values of maximum specific biogas production rate (Gmax ) and proportionality constant (GB) obtained from the Stover-Kincannon model, respectively, were 35,714 ml/L d and 42.85 (dimensionless) and value of kinetic constant of Van der Meer and Heertjes (ksg) was 0.0473 ml CH4 /mg COD.
