Anaerobic digestion is promising for waste activated sludge (WAS) degradation. However, conventional processes were generally stuck with limited hydrolysis and poor pathogen destruction. Hyperthermophilic digestion at 70 °C has drawn attention in overcoming those issues at a relatively low energy requirement and operating difficulties. In order to illuminate its operation characteristics, a single-stage hyperthermophilic digester was controlled at 70 °C and operated continuously to degrade WAS. 88.7 mL/g VSaddedof methane yield could be achieved in the hyperthermophilic system, fourfold higher than that in the mesophilic system. Kinetic analysis revealed that hyperthermophilic digestion was advantageous in converting the non-degradable fraction. Consequently, hydrolysis under the hyperthermophilic condition was able to be significantly improved. Above 10 d was necessary for the hyperthermophilic system to gain such a high methane production. In the case of stability, the organic loading of higher than 10.2 g VS/L/d resulted in increasing limitation from methanogenesis and accumulation of propionic, butyric and valeric acids. In addition to the dominant acetoclastic genusMethanothrixfor methane production in the hyperthermophilic system, two hydrogenotrophic methanogensMethanospirillumandMethanothermobacterreached 18.84% and 8.31%, respectively. The genusCoprothermobacter, affiliated with the phylumFirmicutes, made more contribution to protein hydrolysis in the hyperthermophilic digester.
