Process conditions in PFR1 operating with 66% (w/w) bedding straw mixed with MS at different recirculation ratios (0/10/20%). Left: on-line monitoring of pH, conductivity and ORP at the center port of the PFR, on-line measurement of the gas flow and composition and FDAP measured at 400 kHz. Center: measurements of sCOD, total reducing sugars (center), SHY and SHR. Right: total SCCA concentration, butyric acid (BA), acetic acid (AA), composition of the SCCA fraction, AY and APR. Depicted are the average values of on-line/off-line measurements of a week from each port of the PFR (inlet, center, outlet) or the average over all ports with shaded deviations between ports (SHR, SHY, AY, APR, SCCA, BA, AA, SCCA ratio)
