Organic acids produced in the anaerobic digestion of waste-water sludges tend continuously to depress pH below a point where the acids can be converted to methane. As a result, a large buffering capacity is required to maintain pH between 6.7 and 7.4, which allows efficient operation. Present tests to measure this buffer capacity are inadequate. The present research proposes a simple but adequate test that will provide plant operators with accurate information on anaerobic digester efficiency, as well as considerable long-range insight into digester operation - it would seem that an alkalimetric titration to pH 5.75 can be used routinely to monitor laboratory and actual anaerobic digester performance with a high degree of confidence. The simplicity of the test should encourage many operators to pay more attention to digester performance and, therefore, result in improved waste water treatment efficiency. (Refs. 7).
