Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve low digestibility in anaerobic digestion facility of the sewage treatment plant. To perform this research, sludge digestion and digestion gas purification facilities in sewage treatment plant was applied. In the result of this study, it was very effective for sludge reduction from the improvement of digestive efficiency. In addition, it was confirmed that high purity $CH_4$ (methane) was produced. This results can be useful as basic data to improve the low digestibility in anaerobic digestion processes.
