This study examined anaerobic fermentation of wastewater sludge, both original and pre-treated, by observing alterations in hydrogen and methane content utilising a clostridium strain. The pre-treatments were studied to demonstrate their effects to promote hydrogen production. The metabolised products were also assessed to gain insight into the utility of sequential production of hydrogen and methane from wastewater sludge. The original and pre-treated (acidified, freeze/thawed, and basified) wastewater sludges were tested.
