Pretreatment methods to improve sludge anaerobic degradability: a review.
Hélène Carrère,Claire Dumas,Audrey Battimelli,Damien J. Batstone,J.P. Delgenes,Jean-Philippe Steyer,Ivet Ferrer,Ivet Ferrer +7 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a review of the main sludge treatment techniques used as a pretreatment to anaerobic digestion, and it is likely that low impact pretreatment methods such as mechanical and thermal phased improve speed of degradation, while high impact methods improve both speed and extent of degradation.
