From: Plug-flow hydrolysis with lignocellulosic residues: effect of hydraulic retention time and thin-sludge recirculation

Fig. 5

Left: comparison of the average conversion yields between the parallel reactors at quasi-steady-state conditions depending on feedstock and HRT. The application of thin-sludge recirculation of 20% is indicated by R. Crosshatched columns indicate lactic acid type fermentation, solid columns a butyric type fermentation. Right: dependance of the specific hydrolysis rate (SHR, black squares) and the acid production rate (APR, blue circles) on the effective dilution rate in the PFRs for MS (top) and 66% straw (bottom). Filled symbols present PFR1, open symbols PFR2. Linear correlation was found depending on the feedstock, the Pearson correlation coefficient is displayed. The data of PFR2 during MS digestion (before shut-down) were not included in the linear correlation
