Experimental study of biogas production using starch-rich food waste at pilot scale

摘要

An experimental study was conducted to study of biogas production potential from starch rich food waste of NIT Manipur boys hostel mess,NIT Manipur,Manipur,India(24.8320°N Latitude and 93.9128°E Longitude).Three(3)different plastic bio-digesters coated with black paint were proposed.Variation in ratio of water and substrate,variation in temperature of the digester was performed.The feed materials were grounded before feeding into the digesters.Biogas production and pH of the outlet manure were measured.It was observed that digester with higher temperature have produced more gas than the other digesters analysed at room temperature.
