Use of Lab Scale Reactor for Performance Evaluation of Anaerobic Digestion Through Cane Grass and Buffalo Pats

Abstract

The aim of present research is to check performance of cane grass with buffalo pats and its slurry in anaerobic digester. Lab scale based reactors were modeled to evaluate the biogas production potential of organic-waste. The reactors are made up of synthetic cans. After several changes in the components, these models are used for biogas production. The study found the production of biogas was 0.45m3/kg for the cane grass (CG) to buffalo pats (BP) with ratio of CG:BP as 50:50 at 35oC. Similarly for the different combination ratios of CG:BP-60:40, CG:BP-70:30, CG:BP-80:20 and CG:BP-90:10 same methodology was followed. In this ratios production of biogas were found 0.50, 0.42, 0.27, 0.23 m3/kg respectively.
