“…The challenge of managing effluent DON and NRDP is complicated by the secondary objective of beneficially reusing wastewater biosolids through anaerobic digestion (AD). Stabilization of wastewater biosolids through the use of AD can derive significant benefits to the overall wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation in terms of cost and carbon expenditures (Cakir and Stenstrom, 2005;Berg et al, 2013). AD of wastewater sludge represents an opportunity to generate biogenic methane which could be used to offset demand for conventional petroleum-based energy, thereby reducing carbon emissions (Verstraete et al, 2005).…”
