A PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOGAS FROM BRIQUETTES OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PROCESSING WASTE

摘要

A process for production of biogas from briquettes of fruit and vegetable processing waste which comprises (a) dissolving the briquette of fruit and vegetable processing waste in water to make a homoginised slurry, (b) characterized in that feeding the above said homoginised slurry obtained in step(a) to an anaerobic digester at a loading rate ranging from 6 to 18%, (c ) feedling the slurry to the said digester at hydraulic retention time (HRT) ranging between 35 to 60 days, (d) recovering the biogas from the digester.
