Biogas production by codigestion of fruit and vegetable wastes: organic loading rate (OLR) effect study

In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the production of biogas from co-digestion of fruit and vegetable wastes using anaerobic process. The complete-mix, pilot-scale digester with working volume of 2100 litter was used. The experimental protocol was defined to examine the effect o...

The experimental protocol was defined to examine the effect of the change in the organic loading rate (OLR) on the quality of the biogas production and to report on its steady-state performance. The digester was operated at different organic feeding rates of 1.5, 3 and 4.5 kg VS/ (m3.d).
