AbstractAnaerobic co-digestion of canned seafood wastewater (CSW) with glycerol waste (GW) and wolffia arrhiza (WA) for methane production was investigated. Methane yields from anaerobic co-digestion of CSW with 1%GW, CSW with 1%GW and 5%WA, CSW with 1%GW and 10%WA and CSW with 1%GW and 15%WA were 577, 789, 545 and 474 mL CH4/g VS-added, respectively. Methane production from CSW with 1%GW and 5%WA increased approximately 4-fold when compared with CSW alone (278 mLCH4/g VS-added). Co-digestion of CSW with 1% GW and 5% WA was the best condition and gave the maximum methane production of 8.8 m3 CH4/m3 mixed wastewater and 96.8% biodegradability. The maximum methane production rate and yield were 3.71 L CH4/L-reactor.day and 858 mL CH4/g VS-added (352 mLCH4/g COD-removed) at OLR of 4 g COD/L. day in UASB reactor. The methane composition in biogas was 62.3%. The Monod, Modified Stover–Kincannon and Grau second-order models were used to explain the performance of UASB reactor. The results showed that the kinetic coefficient of the Modified Stover–Kincannon model could explain the performance of UASB reactor in term of COD removal efficiency and microbial growth by having the regression coefficient (R2) as 0.987.
