Abstract
Increasing demand for energy and high waste generation in Nigeria necessitates the adoption of technologies that promote renewable energy and wastes conversion into viable commodity. The biogas technology is one of such systems that have been found to be cost effective and environmentally friendly. In this paper the performance study of a biogas pilot plant using domestic wastes from Benin metropolis was done. Two different samples of substrates composition were made to undergo anaerobic digestion at two different mesophillic temperatures and pH ranges. The gas produced was analyzed for percentage composition. It was observed that good mesophilic temperature range leads to faster digestion and that pH of slurry depend on substrates composition, period of production and temperature.
