Integrated glycerol biorefinery: volatile fatty acid platform for polyhydroxyalkanoates production under feast/famine operation.
This study evaluated aerobic (Stage 1) and anaerobic (Stage 2) feeding strategies in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) accumulation, using fermented effluent from a glycerol-fed acidogenic reactor operated at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 4 and 8 days. Coordinating upstream acidogenic...
