Co-digestion of sewage sludge with glycerol to boost biogas production.
TLDR
It can be concluded that glycerol uptake is not the rate-limiting step during the process, and biogas yields can be boosted if it does not exceed a limiting 1% concentration in the feed.About:

Anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure and crude glycerol at mesophilic conditions: Biogas and digestate
TL;DR: The digestate stability, evaluated through a respirometric assay, showed that co-substrate addition does not exert a negative impact on digestate quality and the analysis of the macro-compounds showed lower removal efficiencies in the co-digester as the microorganisms obtained nutrients from the soluble carbohydrates provided by the glycerol.

A comprehensive model of anaerobic bioconversion of complex substrates to biogas
TL;DR: A dynamic model describing the anaerobic degradation of complex material, and codigestion of different types of wastes, was developed based on a model previously described and validated using results from a full-scale biogas plant codigesting manure together with a proteinous wastewater and with bentonite-bound oil.
