A technique for using waste activated sludge (WAS) accumulating intracellular storage materials was studied for enhancing methane production through anaerobic digestion. Model WAS samples with various contents of poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) were used for anaerobic digestion tests. Methane production during 32 d from WAS with PHA content of 290mgg⿿¹ of dry mass was higher by 30% than that from WAS with PHA content of 30mgg⿿¹. Kinetic models showed that PHAs have a higher biogas production rate constant and a higher biogas yield than microbial cells of WAS in anaerobic digestion. An increase of 10mgg⿿¹ of the PHA content in WAS increased biogas production of 2.6mLg⿿¹-VSadded and methane production of 2.4mLg⿿¹-VSadded. Results show that PHA-accumulating WAS has high potential for methane production in anaerobic digestion.
