Abstract
= 0.999, a slope of 1.0058 and an intercept of -0.8651. Obtained parameter values stressed the importance of inhibitions, and simulation results showcased the bell-shaped curve for acetic and volatile fatty acid reduction. The model was used for a subsequent sensitivity analysis as well as an optimization runs, leading to a 50% higher methane production ratio. The proposed model presents itself as a significant contribution for optimal anaerobic digestion process design.
