An anaerobic digester was used to generating biogas using poultry droppings and banana (Musa paradisiacal) peels. The digester was tested twice with a retention period of 35 days. The first test (control) was carried out using poultry droppings and water as the feedstock using a ratio of 1kg : 2kg. The second test was carried out using poultry droppings, water and banana (Musa paradisiacal) peels as the feedstock using a ratio of 1kg : 2kg : 3kg. Temperature of the slurry in the bio-digester was monitored and recorded three times daily. The ambient temperature measured during the first stage of the study was between 21oC - 34oC while the slurry temperature was between 21oC and 39.3oC. For the second stage of the study, the ambient temperature measured was between 21oC and 32oC while the temperature of slurry measured was between 19.8oC and 38oC. Higher ambient temperatures during the first test were responsible for the slurry temperature. The total volume of biogas produced during digestion for the first test was 83.38 litres while 121.3 litres was generated during the second test. The study shows that the biogas yield of the anaerobic digester was increased when poultry droppings were mixed with banana (Musa paradisiacal) peels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
