Novel Bacterial Blend to Enhance Biomethanation of Municipal Sewage Sludge

城市固体废物的厌氧消化（AD）通过具有不同代谢活性的不同微生物群之间的复杂合作导致有机物质转化为甲烷、二氧化碳和其他有机和无机化合物。Bionetix Inc.公司在其广泛的产品范围内，寻求开发一种新的细菌制剂，以扩大其生物产品系列，用于提高厌氧消化器中的甲烷产量。因此，该项目寻求进行初步测试，以评估细菌菌株的混合物，以提高在不同工艺条件下城市污水污泥厌氧消化过程中的甲烷产量。因此，拟议的项目将产生一种有效的细菌混合物，以增加甲烷产量并改善整个AD工艺。这将导致在加拿大范围内为城市污泥和类似残留物的AD制定战略方法。

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of municipal solid waste leads to conversion of the organic matter to methane, carbon dioxide, and other organic and inorganic compounds through complex cooperation among different microbial groups with different metabolic activities. The company, Bionetix Inc., among their broad range of products, seeks to develop a novel formulation of bacteria to expand its line of bioproducts for applications in the enhancement of methane production in anaerobic digesters. Thus, the project seeks to perform initial tests to evaluate the mixture of bacterial strains to enhance methane production during anaerobic digestion of municipal sewage sludge under different process conditions. The proposed project hence will result in an effective bacterial blend for the increased methane production and improving the overall AD process. This will lead to the development of strategic approaches for the AD of municipal sludge and similar residuals Canada-wide.
