TL;DR: Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) processes offer distinct advantages when compared with continuous processes, including a high degree of process flexibility and no requirement for a separate clarifier as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Kinetics of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) inhibition on acetoclastic methanogenesis, propionate degradation and β-oxidation were studied with granular sludge under mesophilic batch conditions and revealed that the methane production rates from acetate decreased with an increase in both concentration and the number of double bonds of LCFAs.

TL;DR: Among the various operation parameters, contact time and solution pH showed significant effect on the ammonia removal mechanism, the overall ammonia removal rate was not affected by influent suspended solution concentration unlike other pressure driven membrane filtration processes.

TL;DR: The start-up period for fermentative hydrogen production was investigated using a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor inoculated with heat-treated anaerobic sludge to hypothesized that propionic acid bacteria (PAB) grew during the initial batch operation mode and resulted in the failure of the following continuous mode.

TL;DR: Results evidence that the coupling thermophilic digestion with sequencing-batch operation is a viable option to promote enzymatic hydrolysis of organic particulate matter in anaerobic digestion.
