Food waste is categorized under household waste which were produce in large amount every day and it can be a good potential to generate biogas production via anaerobic digestion. In this research, the characteristics of co-digestion process are measured to determine the biogas production between food waste and cow dung. The food waste is co-digest with two different type of cow dung are collected depends on their food consuming (grass:bran); 100% grass and 95% grass : 5% bran. The digester is maintained at 35°C of temperature for mesophilic condition. pH values and C/N ratio are noted until 35 days. The biogas production is analysed by using biogas analyzer. The highest biogas production in this study is 67.2% which are co-digest between food waste and cow dung (100%) compared cow dung (95%) is 53.9% on day 26. This shows that the cow dung (100%) produces more biogas than cow dung (95%). Anaerobic digestion process will best suits for biogas production and for the best utilization of food waste.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
