A laboratory-scale multiphase anaerobic baffled reactor (MP-ABR) system was developed to enhance food waste (FW) bioconversion under mesophilic (35°C) conditions. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of 100% effluent recycling back into the system. During the initial 90 days of...
