The results of studies on thermophilic digestion of sewage sludge are presented. The Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant's digestion system is described. Operation at varying temperatures 85/sup 0/F to 120/sup 0/F are discussed. One-, two-, and three-stage digestion procedures were evaluated. The effects of industrial wastes on the digestion or filtration were investigated. Mixing methods were evaluated. Digestion time for optimum recovery of gas was also discussed. (DC)
