Abstract
Performance Evaluation of the Effect of pH and Temperature on the Biogas Yield of Co-Digestion of Pig Manure and Water Hyacinth
Highlights
The increasing demand for energy, inadequate availability of conventional energy supplied such as fossil and wood fuel resources, increase in crude oil prices, and the increasing concern for environmental issues have challenged researchers across the world to develop an alternative energy means that is clean and sustainable energy through the utilization of non-conventional renewable energy sources [1,2,3,4]
From all the experimental mesophilic temperature used in this research work, an optimum mesophilic temperature of 37 oC favoured the optimum biogas yield
Materials and Methods Water hyacinth used in this research work was harvested from River Ethiope, Boboroku- Jesse, Nigeria (Figure 1), and the Pig manure collected from Pig farm, Jesse, Nigeria (Figure 2)
Summary
The increasing demand for energy, inadequate availability of conventional energy supplied such as fossil and wood fuel resources, increase in crude oil prices, and the increasing concern for environmental issues have challenged researchers across the world to develop an alternative energy means that is clean and sustainable energy through the utilization of non-conventional renewable energy sources [1,2,3,4] In this respect, biogas production from anaerobic digestion or co-digestion process of biodegradable organic waste will be a welcome development. Anaerobic digestion is widely as a treatment option for the disposal of municipal solid waste on a par with the composting technologies It mainly combines with the energy recovery benefits, greenhouse gas mitigation and produces stable end products, which can be further upgraded as compost for land use applications [9]
