QUANTIFY THE AMOUNT OF BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM BIO WASTES
Dr. C. B. Pradeepa Devi and Dr. S. Jenifer*
ABSTRACT
Solid waste is a waste that includes predominantly household waste
with some times the addition of commercial wastes collected by a
municipality with in a given area. Batch Anaerobic reactor was set up
to decompose the waste to produce methane, co2, hydrogen and other
gases in traces. Anaerobic digestion of wastes was carried out in the
laboratory at room temperature, to assess the biogas production. The
total biogas production from the wastes was found to be 6lit/kg. The
results from the biomethanation process showed that an increase in gas
production was observed with increase in digestion period, when
bioconversion parameters were found to be favorable for the
production of gas.
Keywords: Anaerobic digestion, kitchen waste, distillery sludge, biogas.
