Comparison of two anaerobic systems for hydrogen production from the organic fraction of municipal solidwaste and syntheticwastewater

<br/><br/> Two laboratory scale anaerobic digestion systems for hydrogen production from organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW)and synthetic wastewater were compared in this study. One of them was formed by a coupled packed bed reactor (PBR)containing 19.4 L of OFMSW and the other an upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB)of 3.85 L. The reactors were inoculated with a mixture of non-anaerobic inocula. In the UASB the percentage of hydrogen yield reached 51
