Refractory Maillard reaction products (MRPs) produced during thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) of waste activated sludge (WAS) may negatively impact the performance of downstream anaerobic digestion (AD) and nitrogen removal processes. Operating THP at lower temperature can mitigate the producti...
