My master thesis was about anaerobic digestion, and during my reserach I couldn't find these kind of specific researches related with some type of inhibition/interfernece with substances like those you mention; anyhow, I saw that anaerobic digestion is a very sensitive process, so I could say that even if there's no inhibition, the content of those material could lead to a detriment in the performance of the system. It's better to spend a bit of time and money with some pilot experiments rather than find a fail during operation. Good luck!

Our local water and sewage authority has been using anaerobic digestion since 1991. The polyelectrolyte they are using poses no problem. They actually produce BIOGAS to heat up the building.
