biogas production from kitchen waste

Conclusion biogas is produced from the kitchen waste for better alternatives like animal dung and other waste.Biogas can be used as energy source and also for numerous purposes.1oadiosking@yahoo.com, ukrakporf@gmail.com2 abstract biogas is a mixture of colorless, flammable gases obtained by the anaerobic digestion of.The temperature fluctuated between 25 o c and 32 o c.It is produced when bacteria degrade organic matter in the absence of air.

Kitchen waste is the best alternative for biogas production in a university level biogas plant.Food waste is organic msw that is produced due to the handling, storage, sale, cooking and serving of food [10].The reduced cost brought about by lower power consumption are generally enough.The present study showed that one kg of waste was able to produce 22.03 liters of biogas and 120.46 liters of biogas was produced in a day.The waste was made up of leftover food items and vegetables.

The experimental work has been done in 1 liter anaerobic digestion tank.The volume of biogas generated from the slurry, temperature and ph were measured daily.T decreased to 200cm 3 on the 23 rd day.The main source of food waste is household activities, hotels, canteens, and others.The anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste produces biogas, a valuable energy resource.

The volume of biogas generated from the slurry, temperature, and ph was measured daily.
