Specific Acidogenesis Activity (SAdA) Determination Service

Profiling Microbial Activity: Trust Creative Biolabs for SAdA Analysis Solutions

Anaerobic digestion is a microbial process without the participation of oxygen molecules. SAdA analysis is required to optimize the process of anaerobic digestion. At Creative Biolabs, we provide an efficient SAdA analysis service through our extensive experience in Anaerobic Digestion. Through detailed SAdA analysis, we help our clients assess Microbial Activity and optimize the conditions for efficient methane production.

Our SAdA analysis consisted of a 5-day simulation of anaerobic digestion and assays for individual metrics. During the second phase of anaerobic digestion, acid-producing microorganisms take up hydrolysis products and produce volatile fatty acids (VFA) and other products. By evaluating the microbial activity during this phase, the efficiency of anaerobic digestion and the amount of methane produced from the Biomass are improved. The SAdA analysis consists of the following components:

We set up a laboratory-scale anaerobic digester using glucose as a digestion substrate to keep the anaerobic digestion process going.
Various parameters are monitored such as pH, temperature, and biogas production. We also take regular samples and test the VFA content.
The data collected is analyzed to determine the gas production rate and ultimately the SAdA.
We also analyze the reasons for the inefficiency of anaerobic digestion and make some practical recommendations on how to improve it.

Published data

Anaerobic digestion is an efficient, green, and environmentally friendly alternative method for treating food waste. In this study, the effect of head space and temperature on the biochemical methane potential of food waste was investigated by examining the specific acid-producing activity, hydrolysis activity, volatile fatty acids, etc. The optimum temperature and head space for anaerobic digestion of food waste were finally obtained through analysis, which provided data support for food waste treatment research. This study also demonstrated how to detect and analyze specific acid-producing activities.
