Abstract
The research deals with anaerobic fermentation and creating the conditions for bacteria (Methanogens) to carry out the process of hydration, acidification and production of methane gas. The study included the design of an anaerobic reactor made of thick glass (12) mm, with dimensions (of 35 x 35 x 35) cm, with a thermal heater inside it and a temperature set at (45) ℃, and then filled with Dairy wastewater. The Treatment period of the reactor reached two months, during which water samples were taken (72hrc) for laboratory tests (pH, COD). The laboratory tests began on 1/1/2021 and ended on 1/3/2021. COD removal of 87.12% was achieved with a neutral pH at the beginning of the second month of treatment. Biogas was obtained in this anaerobic reactor by fermentation and in the presence of bacteria (Methanogens), and its amount during the treatment period was 1.6 m3.
