Biochemical methane potential of vegetable wastes.

ABSTRACT

Anaerobic digestion of vegetable waste slurry carried out in the laboratory using 2.5L capacity bottle reactors for 60 days at ambient temperature conditions resulted in a biogas yield of 0.391 L/g of VS fed. The methane content of the biogas generated from the reactors was in the range of 67%-70%. The biochemical methane potential obtained from the laboratory was 0.269 L CH4/g VS added.
