Study of Different Parameters of Mixing on Biogas Production from Food Waste

Food waste generation is an increasing issue, and the disposal of it controversial. It raises food prices, municipal solid contains 8.4% by weight. The current study generates a pilot plant for converting to biogas production as energy source tremendous paths. present work deals with effect mixing on from in pilot-scale digesters. A propeller agitator was employed anaerobic digester. Multiple experimental trials were addressed optimize parameters participating process semi-continuous operation at mesophilic conditions. Different duration frequency studied speed 5 rpm comparison carried out reference digester without facility. highest 0.12 m 3 /(kg dry mass) observed time min compared 10 15 Mixing once day obtained range 0.048 0.071 while two times 0.019 0.0357 mass). Hence, provided almost double production. Effect temperature pH also different found that best waste. Minimum required digestion stable concluded point important processes maximum
