Global challenges in the energy, climate change, and environmental threats have garnered anaerobic digestion (AD) new-found attention. Of particular interest is how we could give the traditional AD a facelift in maximizing energy production, enhancing treatment efficiency, and broadening substrate treatability. This is possible by surpassing kinetics and thermodynamics limitations of hydrolysis and syntrophic association guided by genomics data.This talk will be devoted to how microbial community and metabolism illumination from meta-omics techniques leverage digestion innovation, i.e, micro-aeration, direct interspecies electron transfer. Besides DNA sequencing technique, significant advances in thermodynamic computation and biocomputing speeds are able to generate sensible and coordinated logic patterns in AD. Together with the conventional parameters, e.g., HRT, COD, pH, temperature and alkalinity, an algorithm developed for high-speed parallel data processing can assist in-situ decision-making and automated system feedback adjustments for unprecedented AD optimization.

The scientific knowledge gleaned using cutting-edge techniques is expected to create new opportunities in process design, construction, and operation, offering a new outlook for AD.
