Abstract
The Factors which have a high impact on the production of biomethane from dry, continuous anaerobic digestion of the organic fractions of the market waste containing fruit and vegetable mixture (FVM) co-digested with food waste (FW) are examined. The effects of functional variables such as organic loading rate, hydraulic retention time, C/N ratio, temperature, alkalinity and pH, volatile solid reduction on biomethane productivity were studied in an anaerobic digester with a single stage of plug flow type. In the AD of organic fractions market wastes, substrate-induced volatilities of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) lead to poor production of biogas. Hence FVW mixture ratio is fixed at 2.2:2.8 for optimum yield and then it is co-fermented with food waste and previous digestate with a 2:1:1 inoculum ratio and results have been investigated. And the AD is operated for a fixed Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) of 25 days and the optimal organic loading rate ranged between 2.5 to 12 kg VS/m3.d with the moisture content of 76.4 to 82.25 %, Total solid (TS) concentrations of 17.75 to 23.6 %. It is noted, from the results, that the best performance of AD, achieved at OLR 7.5 kg VS/m3.day with 67 % reduction in Volatile Solid and 0.576 m3 of biogas produced per kg VSremoved in loading L3.
