A membrane-coupled anaerobic VFAs fermenter (MCAVF) was operated with five different hydraulic loading rates (3, 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25 day-1) to evaluate its influence on acid phase VFAs production from coagulated raw sludge. Results show that C2 to C5 volatile fatty acids were formed as predominant compounds. At constant solids retention time (SRT) of 10 days, VFAs production ratio moderately increased over the range of hydraulic loading rate (HLR) of 3 day-1 to 2 day-1, but significantly decreased at other HLR conditions. First order hydrolysis rate constant decreased with a decrease in HLR. The relatively high degradation percentages of carbohydrate and protein were observed, ranging from 25 to 47%, 27 to 47%, respectively. However, lipid and fiber component were degraded at much lower ratio than the previous other two organic materials. On the other hand, despite some variation in the minor acids in five HLR cases, VFAs speciation appeared to be independent of HLR. The results obtained emphasize that; at least in the range investigated, the optimal HLR for VFAs production and recovery from coagulated raw sludge is in the range of 2 day-1 and 1 day-1.
