Résumé

The methane and digestate production from biowaste (BW, 95% food waste and 5% garden waste based on fresh mass) and grease trap sludge (GTS) co-digestion at the Grossache-Nord WWTP (Austria) as a basis for a cost-benefit analysis was determined using two approaches: The first one was to determine the specific methane yields (SMY) and total solids (TS) removals (%) of the used substrates in biomethane potential (BMP) tests. In the second, the full-scale process data from a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system were analyzed. From these data, the SMY of the sewage sludge (SS) was calculated for a period without co-digestion and applied to the study period. Thus, it was possible to calculate the methane and digestate production from the co-substrates. Both approaches produced different co-substrate SMYs and TS degradation results. In the approach using the BMP, the SMY was 518 m
