Impact of variables affecting biogas production from biomass

Abstract

As a substitution of fossil fuels and a resource of Renewable Energy, Biogas is of vital important in this era of abated energy resources. Production of biogasfrom anaerobic digestion by utilization of waste and organic matter provides an excellent solution for waste management. In this review, it is shown that what are the main factors which affectthe biogas production, how they are affecting and at what condition optimal results are produced. Temperature is the important factor which affects the biogas production. At higher temperature, maximum biogas is produced.There are other factors like the C/N ratio, pH value, compression ratio, and thetotal solid concentration whichare affecting the biogas production. In this paper concentration of all these factors at variousconditions has been noted and the optimal conditionis specified. It is also specified at what condition the higher gas yield will be produced.
