Performance of Food Waste Feeding Pilot Plant Biodigester Operated with Identified Potential Substrate Properties

Anaerobic digestion has been proven as sustainable process technology for organic waste conversion into renewable bio-energy. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of mono-digestion different types food substrates using pilot scale anaerobic bio-digester (1200 L) in terms biogas production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. The biochemical methane potential (BMP) test rice (R), vegetable (VW) coconut meat residue (CMR) were tested at initial volatile solid (VS) loading 0.1631, 1.1690, 1.0059 g VS/L, respectively fixed inoculum/substrate (I/S) ratio 0.5. Further by (R) plant (1200L) 43 days investigate reactor term COD Interestingly, inoculum used this performs very well able digest waste. Results demonstrate that maximum specific yield (SBY) observed from 0.0587 L/kg VS compared other substrates. Specific 16.01% 11.92% higher than substrate respectively. High efficiency (up 93 %) sole indicates a good treating Conversion is highly one treatment technology.
