contents In this paper, we study a well known two-step anaerobic digestion model in a configuration of two chemostats in series. This model is an eight-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. Since the reaction system has a cascade structure, we show that the eight-order model can be reduced to a four-dimensional one. Using general growth rates, we provide an in-depth mathematical analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the system. First, we determine all the steady states of the model where there can be more than fifteen equilibria with a non-monotonic growth rate. Then, the necessary and sufficient conditions of existence and local stability of all steady states are established according to the operating parameters: the dilution rate, the input concentrations of the two nutrients, and the distribution of the total process volume considered. The operating diagrams are then analyzed theoretically to describe the asymptotic behavior of the process according to the four control parameters. There can be seventy regions with rich behavior where the system may exhibit bistability or tristability with the coexistence of both microbial species in the two bioreactors.
