Abstract Today, biogas production from municipal solid waste as one of the most important sources of energy supply in the world is increasing. In this study, the potential of biogas production from a mixture of cow dung and catering waste was investigated using a continuous flow anaerobic bioreactor with 60 litres at the Bench scale. Operational parameters such as pH, Carbon to Nitrogen ratio (C/N), mixing ratio of restaurant and cow waste in weight percentage (0:100, 50:50, 70:30, and 100:0), total solids (TS) (%5, %10 and %20), temperatures (35, 45 and 55°C) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) were evaluated. The results showed that the maximum yield and percent of the biogas produced from cow manure digestion separately was 1003 ml/day and %52.82. Digestion of the catering waste and cow manure as a mixture showed the best mixing ratio, total solid and temperature is 70:30 (w/w), %20 and 55°C respectively and biogas production yield and percent in this conditions was obtained 5430 ml/day and %74.4 respectively. The ORP obtained in this study is -327 millivolt (mv), which indicates the appropriate conditions of the anaerobic process in biogas production and confirmation of methanogenesis.

Microbial pretreatment was applied to enhance biogas production from corn stover through solid-state anaerobic digestion, but the price of microbial strains is high. The objective of this study was to find the effects on biogas production by the naturally microbial pretreatment method. The highest cumulative biogas yield for 60-day solid-state anaerobic digestion was obtained in B group (the pretreated corn straws with cow dung), which was 19.6% higher than that of the untreated samples. The D group（the pretreated corn straws with the sludge）cumulative biogas yield for 60-day solid-state anaerobic digestion was obtained, which was 18.87% higher than that of the untreted samples. The biogas of D group increased to the range of 55%～60% methane content, while B group with the range of 75%～80%.The results indicated that the pretreated corn straws mixing cow manure can improve both the biogas production yield and the content of methane in CH4。

Fallen Leaves

An investigation was carried out for the production of biogas from dry fallen leaves. The sample was collected from BCSIR campus of Dhaka in winter. The substrate was mixed leaves mainly mahogany (75%), eucalyptus (10 %) and rain tree (15 %) leaves. The study was carried out by whole leaves and crushed leaves directly followed by aerobic pretreatment at 8% total solid (TS) concentration. The raw materials were fed into two liter capacity glass bottle bio digester on batch basis for 60 days at ambient temperature. Different proportion of substrate and cow dung were mixed to get the optimum mix for maximum yield of biogas. The biogas reactor containing 6% crushed and pretreated leaves mixed with 2% cow dung (on 8% TS basis) gave maximum (0.199 l/g) biogas yield. The biogas yield from leaves without pretreatment was found to be too low (0.0106 l/g) for 8%. The COD reduction, VS reduction and methane composition of two biogas reactors have been determined where biogas yield were relatively higher. The maximum methane content of the biogas was found to be about 69.3%.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 50(3), 163-168, 2015

Degradation Reactions

Although anaerobic degradation reactions of organic waste are feasible, and have been studied since 1990. However, until now, optimizing the reaction rate to get the highest methane yield is still needed. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the operational parameters. The goal of this study is to investigate the impacts of temperature, ratio of solid waste and innoculum, and total solid percentage to the anaerobic degradation reactions. Solid waste was the mixture of water hyacinth (representative of plant components in the organic waste stream) and cow manure (ratio of water hyacinth: cow manure = 2:1). The mixture was composted until getting a homogenous texture in order to facilitate for the anaerobic digestion process. Two temperature conditions (55 oC and 37 oC), three solid wasteinoculum (S:I) ratios (1:2, 2:1, 1:1) and five percentages of total solid (30 %, 24 %, 18 %, 14 %, 10 %) were investigated. The result indicated that in the thermophilic condition (55 oC), 24 % TS, and S:I ratio of 1:2, the reactor generated the highest methane yield after 30 days.

Substrate To Inoculum Ratio

Biogas production can be greatly affected by inoculum addition and total solids. The effect of the substrate to inoculum ratios and total solids of chicken, goat and cow manure on biogas production was studied using a 0.15m3 laboratory-scale batch digester at a constant temperature of 35°C. Feedstocks were mechanically minced to 3 mm effective particle sizes prior to co-digesting with untreated cow manure from a free-range dairy rearing system. Different amounts of cow substrate inoculum were used at ratios of 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and 6:1, while total solid levels between (7.5% and 10.5%) at intervals of 0.5% were used to study their effects on biogas production. Increasing inoculums and total solids resulted in increased biogas production with peaks at a substrate to inoculum ratio of 4:1 (20% inoculum addition) and 9% total solids. Biogas production rates of 0.61 and 0.63m3/m3d were realized respectively. Keywords: Biogas Production, Chicken-Goat-Cow Manure, Substrate to Inoculum Ratios, Total Solids

Olive Mill

The treatment of olive mill (OM) residues from agricultural facilities is a daunting challenge since tremendous amounts are disposed per annum that should be treated. One of the promising treatment methods is the anaerobic methanogenic digestion of OM residues. In current investigations, the anaerobic digestion of the OM substrate is enhanced through mixing its slurries with sewage sludge (SS) or with cow manure (C), which consists of the kernels for the digestion process. Besides feedstock, other operational parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT), temperature and pH have a great impact on the biogas production rate and quality. Experimental investigations were conducted by means of the anaerobic biodegradation of the substrate for OM-SS and -C using a batch reactor under mesophilic conditions and foreseen HRT for 30 days. Almost neutral pH values of 7.4-7.6 were found for the anaerobic treatment of the substrate for OM-SS, and a slightly acidic pH in the range of 4.8-5.3 was found for the anaerobic treatment of the substrate for OM-C. The results revealed that the biogas production for OM-SS and -C exceeded 0.07 and 0.31 LBiogas/(LFerm·day), respectively. Regarding the COD reduction, its removal efficiency was obtained as 46.1 and 53.8% for OM-SS and -C respectively. For economic concerns, significant methane yields were attained as 56.8 and 115.8 [LCH4/kgCOD] for the OM-SS and -C substrates, respectively. In virtue of these remarkable merits, anaerobic methanogenic digestion should be adapted to a commercial scale for the treatment and biogas production of OM residues.

The study was investigated to enhance biogas production from rumen digesta by anaerobic co-digestion process. The experiment was carried out in 3300 mL digester. The mixing ratio of rumen digesta and water used was 1:1 in 40 days Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT). Produced gas was measured by volumetric water replacement method. In phase-1, the maximum biogas generation from digesta of chicken and goat, cow and chicken, cow and goat, and co-digestion of four substrates (C:CH:G:V) were 65, 1230, 37 and 375 mL/d at 17th, 14th, 26th and 13th day respectively. The average biogas production was found from these samples were 20, 340, 16 and 113 mL. In phase-2, the maximum biogas generation from cow, goat and chicken, cow, chicken and vegetable waste and cow, goat and vegetable waste were respectively 66, 80 and 64 ml/d at 19th, 23rd and 27th day. The average biogas generation were found from these samples 22, 32 and 19 mL. The comparative data shows, biogas production is higher with cow and chicken wastes in both the phases mixed with vegetable waste. Thus, it is suggested that the study which gave maximum yield of biogas production from co-digestion process might be met the future energy demand.

Salvinia Molesta

Salvinia molesta is an aquatic weed having very high growth rate. The high abundance of this species biomass could be utilized as a source of alternative energy. This research was aimed to utilize S. molesta as a substrate for biogas production using batch system in order to reduce euthrofication effect in a lake. Cow manure was used as starter for anaerobic process because containing bacteria. Proximate test was conducted to analyze the chemical characteristics of the aquatic weed. Chemical oxygen demand, total solid, and total volatile suspended solid of weed and manure were analyzed according to the APHA 2012 method. Biogas composition was analyzed with gas chromatography. The results showed that the S. molesta contained high lignin content and low C:N ratio. Hydrolisis and acidification process occured very rapid, resulting in an increase of the weed and manure mixture COD. In the other hand, the decreased of COD removal was caused by the massal death of methanogenesis bacteria. The total solid and total volatile suspended solid content were not significantly decreased. Potential biogas production from S. molesta was 58.16 L.kg-1 with 318.29 mL.gram VS-1day-1 of methane production. This production value was still low or compared to that of cow manure which have been established as biogass materials and need modification to improve the biogas production.

In this study, three different concentration of organic loading rate (OLR) were investigated to examine the effect of the change in the organic loading rate on the efficiency of the biogas production. Daily amount of biogas of different type of organic loading rate (OLR), rates of production of biogas, removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total solid (TS) matter, volatile solids (VS) matter from the slurry were investigated in 30 days retention tyme using 50 L digester. The digester was operated at different organic feeding rates of 25000 mg/L COD, 50000 mg/L COD, and 75000 mg/L COD. The material used in this system is the fruits waste, vegetables waste and cow dung. The system operated in continuous system. The reactor showed stable performance with the highest quality of methane (concentration about70.3% of CH4) and rate of biogas production is 38.1 L/day with COD reduction of 52.1% during organic loading rate 50000 mg/L COD. As the organic loading rate was increased, the COD degradation and biogas yield decreased. Based on this result, the OLR of 50000 mg/L COD is suggested as design criteria for pilot biogas production.
