In the current study, a E(C2)Tx synthetic consortia was tested for anaerobic co-digestion of food waste (FW), bio-flocculated sewage sludge (BFS)/ raw wastewater (RW) and cow dung (CD) at varying proportions in 0.25 L and 6.5 L mesophilic continuously stirred tank reactors. Anaerobic co-digestion of FW with CD and RW at the ratio of 1:1:8 in 0.25 L batch-reactor with E(C2)Tx inoculum resulted in the highest H2 production with least CO2 release. The microbial dynamics of FW:CD:RW samples were studied using 16S metagenomic sequencing which indicated a predominance of hydrolysing microbes at the end point of the digestion cycle. Subsequently, the experiments were scaled up in two continuous digesters, namely, R1 (fed with 50% FW and 50% BFS) and R2 (fed with 2% FW and 98% BFS) with 6.5 L working volume at 2.5 g VS L-1D-1 organic loading rate (OLR) for 120 days. The highest VFA production of 19,183 mg L-1 and 3,265 mg L-1 with maximum bio-methane yield of 142.21-and 225.03-mL CH4g-1 VSadded were recorded in reactors R1 and R2, respectively. In addition, a numerical analysis was conducted to visualize the mixing and temperature distribution within the digesters, and the velocity and temperature profiles were obtained using Ansys Fluent. & COPY; 2023 The Author(s).
