Abstract:

The present study is aimed at extraction of energy in terms of methane from the kitchen waste through high solids anaerobic digestion. Laboratory studies were conducted by varying the total solids concentration from 20% to 30% under controlled (28oC ± 5oC) and ambient (37oC) mesophilic condition. Maximum methane yield of 296.7 mL CH4 / gVS added and VS degradation of 62% was obtained at 20% TS concentration. The methane concentration in the biogas with 20% TS concentration was 38 ± 17 % under ambient mesophilic condition and 44 ± 17 % under controlled mesophilic condition.

Keywords:

Methane, Solid Phase Anaerobic Digestion, and Kitchen Waste.
