Preliminary Evaluation of the Potential Biogas Production of Food-Processing Industrial Wastes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Problem statement: An Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process, traditionally applied to wastewater and sewage sludge treatment, has a great potential in the valorization of foodprocessing industry wastes. Approach: This study is focused on the evaluation of the theoretical biogas and methane production of some food wastes, coming out from rice, hazelnut and wine processing, on the grounds of their physical-chemical characterization. Results: Almost all of the considered samples exhibited biogas theoretical yields equal to about 0.7-1.6 m/kgVS and methane contents equal to about 40-60% v/v. Conclusion: Although the undeniable limitations of a theoretical evaluation, the gathered results may be useful in planning future experimental tests.

Valorization of municipal solid wastes through biogas production in Iran
Iran is a developing country with a population of over 80 million. The total daily MSWs production in Iran is about 50 million kg. Most of the MSWs in this country is being disposed of in the landfills. Some of the landfills are located in the urban area or near to sea, river, and forest. In this regard, the management of MSWS becomes a concern in Iran. One solution to manage MSWs and mitigate ...
متن کاملUtilization of Co-digestion of Local Brewery Wastes and Cattle Dung as a Potential Source of Biogas and Organic Fertilizer
Biogas production from co-digestion of local brewery waste (BW) and cow dung (CD) was study for value added to this solid waste. The objective of this research was to fine the optimum condition for maximum biogas production and also examined the effectiveness of the biogas residue (liquor from anaerobic digestion process) as a nitrogen source for the production of okro. The experiments were per...

Introduction The co-digestion of manure with other substrates such as energy crops, industrial wastes, or food industry wastes enhances biogas production. The addition of co-substrates to manure can improve the carbon to nitrogen balance which results in a stable and maintainable digestion process [1]. Co-digestion also improves the flow qualities of the co-digested substrates [2]. Perhaps the ...
متن کاملBiogas Energy Potential in Riau Indonesia
The increasing of crude oil prices recently in the world, the need for an alternative source of fuel in the Indonesia is urgently required. In addition, growing concern about climate change is driving the need for “low-carbon” fuels. One highly potential form of renewable and low-carbon fuel is biogas from anaerobic digestion of organic wastes. Anaerobic digestion is a naturally occurring proce...
