An additive based on iron oxides was applied to reduce the amount of produced sludge and to increase the production and quality of biogas. The C/N ratio was 11.0–11.3 and the pH of the sludge mixture was 7.3 before the anaerobic digestion. The determined optimal dose of the additive was 0.35 g/g of sludge dry matter over 20 days. This allowed a reduction in the sludge retention time up to 6–11 days. Consequently, maximum biogas production was reached on average 1.6 times faster, volatile solids degradation increased by 56.7%, biogas production increased by 75%, specific biogas production increased by 11.5%, and methane concentration in the biogas increased by 8.4%–18.2%. When the additive was applied, the quantity of phosphate phosphorus in the supernatant was reduced by up to 19%, and hydrogen sulfide reduction efficiency in the biogas ranged between 55% and 62%. In sludge treatment facilities, using an iron oxide-based additive could reduce the dewatering and drying costs for digested sludge by up to 35% .

Zastosowano dodatek na bazie tlenków żelaza, aby zmniejszyć ilość wytwarzanego osadu i zwiększyć zarówno produkcję, jak i jakość biogazu. Stosunek C/N przed fermentacją beztlenową wynosił 11,0–11,3, a pH kombinacji osadów wynosiło 7,3. Ustalona stosowana dawka dodatku wynosiła 0,35 g/g suchej masy osadu w okresie 20 dni. Pozwoliło to na skrócenie czasu retencji osadu do 6–11 dni, tj. mi. maksymalną produkcję biogazu osiągano średnio 1,6 razy szybciej. Test laboratoryjny przeprowadzono w VILNIUS TECH przy użyciu modelu fermentacji beztlenowej „W8 Armfield Ltd” (Wielka Brytania). Do badań wykorzystano dodatek na bazie tlenków żelaza. Dokonano pomiarów parametrów osadu i biogazu. Po dodaniu dodatku ilość lotnych substancji stałych ulegających rozkładowi wzrosła o 56,7%, ilość wyprodukowanego biogazu wzrosła o 75%, stężenie specyficznego wyprodukowanego biogazu wzrosło o 11,5%, a stężenie metanu w biogazie wzrosło o 8,4% do 18,2%. Po przefermentowaniu osadu z dodatkiem ilość fosforu fosforanowego w supernatancie zmniejszyła się aż o 19%, a skuteczność redukcji siarkowodoru w biogazie wynosiła od 55 do 62%. Koszt odwadniania i suszenia osadu przefermentowanego można obniżyć nawet o 35% w oczyszczalniach osadów, w których stosuje się dodatek na bazie tlenków żelaza.
