Abstract

Biogas or bio-methane is an alternative energy source produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) technology whereby the organic matter is degraded by naturally present microorganisms and converted into a combustible gas. This paper focus on the utilization of anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) method since biogas yield so far remains minimum based on mono- digestion alone due to low energy content. In this work, empty fruit bunch (EFB), oil palm frond (OPF) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) are being used as co-digestion additive since energy crop residues are known for its high carbon and energy content to enhance the process. A series of five 1.5L reactors were set up for a mesophilic condition at temperature 40°C, with initial pH range of 7-8, for 60 days of retention time. The mono-digestion reactor of chicken manure is labelled as DC1, and the co-digestion reactors with sugarcane bagasse, OPF and EFB are labelled as DSB, DOPF and DEFB, respectively. The recorded C/N ratio of co-digestion reactors were improved to be in a favourable range of 15 to 35 with DSB being the highest at 17.74 compared to that of control reactor at 11.35. As a result, total biogas production for DSB increases up to 36 due to its significantly high carbon content from sugarcane bagasse that provide stability for the bacterial growth and its activities. Sugarcane bagasse act as a good carbon source for the AD system, thus enhance the methane production. On the other hand, DOPF and DEFB give 13 and 41 lesser total biogas volume, however, produces much higher methane concentration compared to the control reactor. This shows that DOPF and DEFB give a higher methane yield which defines the more stability and efficiency of digestion process. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
