A thermophilic two-stage fermentation process using 10% total solids (TS) food waste was tested at varying organic loading rates (OLRs). The system was configured to produce H2and CH4in conjugation with the chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen removal, and adjustment of the pH by returning sludge as an alkali buffer from the sludge storage tank for denitrification. The pH in the H2fermentation reactor was maintained in the range of 5.4–5.7 using sludge recirculation (Qr/Qiratio 1). The average H2(11.1l-H2l−1-fed d−1) and CH4(47.4l-CH4l−1-fed d−1) production rates were achieved at OLRs of 39 (H2fermentation reactor) and 4.16gCOD l−1d−1(CH4fermentation reactor), respectively. These results suggest that long-term stability of the continuous two-stage process can be successfully achieved by recirculation of high-alkalinity sludge of 6.7–7.5gl−1as CaCO3, without any added external chemical buffer.
