Rate and efficiency of the AD process is controlled by:
- Type of waste being digested (co-digestion)
- Process temperature
- pH and alkalinity
- Hydraulic retention time
- 10-12 days thermophilic, 15 - 20 days mesophilic
- Organic loading rate
- 2-3 g VS/l reactor and day
- Inhibition and toxicity
