Biogas Production from Benincasa Hispida Waste

Biogas is the mixture of gaseous that generated from the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It consists of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and traces level of other gases. Agricultural wastes where available abundantly in Malaysia serve as one of the potential carbon sources...

The study was carry out in 2L digester at mesophilic temperature range with total solid concentration of 10% TS and inital pH of about 7. Percent composition of sample A(100wt % Kundur waste) , B(80 wt % Kundur waste:20 wt % Cow dung) , C(60 wt % Kundur waste:40 wt % Cow dung), D(50 wt % Kundur waste:50 wt % Cow dung) and E(40 wt % Kundur waste:60 wt % Cow dung) were used. Sample D shown the most suitable composition with the highest biogas yield of 2.34ml/gTS followed by sample C of 1.46ml/gTS, sample E of 1.16mg/gTS, sample B of 0.3ml/gTS while sample A shown no production of biogas. The different compositions of Kundur waste and cow dung in anaerobic digestion influenced the total biogas production.
