ABSTRACT

This project work aimed at demonstrating the benefits of organic wastes in the production of Biogas using a bio-digester through the use of different substrates and methods in order to optimize the production of Methane Gas by anaerobic digestion. Five samples (substrates) were used in this research with their different seeding substances.

Organic wastes, particularly plants wastes and animal dung constitute a nuisance to our environment and also a threat to public health, there is therefore a need to search for the beneficial ways of minimizing them without any harm to our environment. In order to alleviate the problems of rural and urban energy requirements, this research provides reliable information about different techniques we can employ to obtain a large amount of methane gas at relatively shorter time than is expected. It also explores and exploits other energy sources for man’s economic benefits and how to optimize them; this is connected to the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. Biogas is suitable, standard, affordable and sustainable alternative source of renewable energy since the raw materials are termed wastes and are readily available in very large quantities.

From this research, it could be deduced that a biogas generating plant can easily be constructed at a minimum cost affordable.

    ABSTRACT Optimization is the process of transforming a piece of code to make more efficient(either in terms of time or space) without changing its output or side-effects. The onlydifference visible to the code’s user should be that it runs faster and/or consumes lessmemory. It is really a misnomer that the name implies you are finding an... Continue Reading
