Biogas Production Rate

In this paper, cow manure fluid was used as inoculums to investigate biogas production rate from anaerobic digestion of cassava peel at mesophilic temperature (280C). The anaerobic experiment was conducted using six batch digesters (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6) each of 20L capacity for 40-day hydraulic retention. Each digester, was loaded with 5kg of cassava peel (CP) and 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of inoculum to CP. Hashimoto model was used to obtain the digestion kinetic parameters. The results of the study showed that inoculums influenced the rate of biogas production, showing variations in biogas production, correlation coefficient (R2) and in first-order decay constant (k). The average cumulative biogas production was in the range of ~2358 to 4010ml/kgVS for 10% to 50% inoculum. The R2 and k for D1 was 0.959 and 0.359 D1 (without inoculum), 0.990 and 0.371 for D2 (10% inoculum) and 0.991 and 0.371 for D3 (20% inoculum), 0.951 and 0.356 for D4 (30% inoculum), 0.992 and 0.372 for D5 (40% inoculum), and 0.990 and 0.371 was obtained for D6 loaded with 50% inoculum. Despite variation in biogas yields from different inoculums, biogas production obtained from anaerobic digesters loaded with inoculums were still lower compared with that without inoculum.

Biogas Production Rate

Solid sago waste is a potential source of producing renewable energy in the form of biogas. This study investigated the effects of solid sago waste particle size, biological pretreatment using a microbial consortium of lignocelluloses, pretreatment with NaOH, and the ratio between solid sago waste and cow rumen based on the biogas production rate. Several variations of these conditions were used to achieve this. The anaerobic digestion process was conducted over two months at 30.42 °C ± 0.05 °C, and the biogas production rate was measured every two days. The 1:1 ratio showed better results compared to the 2:1, because it allows the bacteria to achieve metabolic balance. The highest cumulative biogas production (27.91 mL/g TS) was generated when the sago waste underwent milling (±1 mm), pretreatment with 4% NaOH g/g TS, and treatment with microbial consortium 5% v/v at a 1:1 ratio of solid sago waste to the rumen.

Biogas Production Rate

Traditional static anaerobic digestion technology presents the disadvantages of a low gas production rate and long digestion cycle, which is not conducive to the treatment of livestock manure. A 12 m3 multiphase flow anaerobic digester (MFD) was developed in this study to improve the biogas production rate and maintain constant temperature digestion during winters. Full-scale field experiments were conducted on the biogas production rate at different temperatures, the dynamic digestion effects, and the dynamic heating digestion effects of the system at Sichuan, China. A comparison of the dynamic and static digestion results of 50 days indicated that the biogas production for the dynamic digestion (DD) group was 115.22 m3 or 127.1% higher than that of the static digestion (SD) group with the same digestion temperature. The results of the heat transfer performance experiment revealed that the heat transfer rate of the system increased significantly, and the temperature of the biogas slurry increased rapidly. The optimization analysis of the system was based on the experimental results of the relationship between the slurry temperature and biogas production rate, and the economical digestion temperature of the system was proposed and calculated. Different insulation materials or insulation thicknesses have an influence on the economical digestion temperature. Additionally, the economical digestion temperature of the system in which the polystyrene insulation layer with a thickness of 90 mm was used, was found to be 27.2 °C. When digestion temperature was 22.3 °C, the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of dynamic anaerobic digestion system is 1. The advantages of MFD are low biogas production unit cost and high heat and mass transfer rate. However, the disadvantage of high operation energy consumption needs further improvement. And additional energy was required when system digestion temperature below 22.3 °C. The proposed MFD and dynamic anaerobic digestion system can play a significant role in using biomass resources and promoting the development of biogas projects.

Detailed Presentation

AbstractTo tap the organic waste generated onboard cruise ships is a very promising approach to reduce their adverse impact on the maritime environment. Biogas produced by means of onboard anaerobic digestion offers a complementary energy source for ships’ operation. This report comprises a detailed presentation of the results gained from comprehensive investigations on the gas yield from onboard substrates such as food waste, sewage sludge and screening solids. Each person onboard generates a total average of about 9 kg of organic waste per day. The performed analyses of substrates and anaerobic digestion tests revealed an accumulated methane yield of around 159 L per person per day. The anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and food waste (50:50 VS) emerged as particularly effective and led to an increased biogas yield by 24%, compared to the mono-fermentation. In the best case, onboard biogas production can provide an energetic output of 82 W/P, on average covering 3.3 to 4.1% of the total energy demand of a cruise ship.
