Hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) can be integrated with anaerobic digestion (AD) for the treatment of digestate, resulting in a solid hydrochar or bio-coal and a process water, which can be recirculated back into AD to produce biogas. The properties of digestate-derived hydrochars do not lend themselves to producing high quality bio-coal and blending with lignocellulosic feedstocks can improve its properties. This study investigates the co-processing of sewage sludge (SS) digestate with three lignocellulosic biomass (grass, privet hedge, and woodchip). The calorific value of the resulting bio-coal is increased following co-processing, although feedstock interactions result in non-additive behaviour. The largest increase in calorific value was observed for co-processing with woodchip. There is evidence for non-additive partitioning of metals during co-processing resulting in only moderate improvements in ash chemistry during combustion. Co-processing also effects the composition of process waters, influencing the potential for biogas production. Experimental biomethane potential (BMP) tests indicate that grass clippings are the most suitable co-feedstock for maintaining both calorific value and biogas production. However, above 200 °C, BMP yields appear to decrease, suggesting the process water may become more inhibitory. Co-processing with wood waste and privet hedge produce the higher CV bio-coal but significantly reduced BMP. |
