Popis: This study evaluated biogas production potentials from local biomass feedstocks comprising of rice straw (RS), steamed lemongrass (SL), bagasse (BA) and desiccated coconut (DC) on super-intensive shrimp sludge (SS) anaerobic digestion. A series of batch anaerobic digestion experiments was conducted at an organic loading rate of 50 g-VS L-1 and a C/N ratio of 25 under mesophilic conditions. The results indicate that co-digested biomass substrates are more suitable than single sludge except for DC supplementation, which exhibited a severe pH inhibition for methanogenesis activities. A reactor supplemented with BA achieved the highest overall biogas production (126.78 L kg-VSadded-1), which increased biogas yields 53.70% compared to a mono-sludge reactor. Furthermore, reactors with RS and SL increased biogas yields by 26.40% and 29.21%, respectively. Irrespective of initial materials, the H2S concentration in biogas compositions was measured at very high levels (23,710 - 65,040 ppm) after 10-15 days of digestion, while a decreasing trend was recorded for the remaining digestion period (16 - 60 days), yet still maintained relatively high levels (5,873 - 9,155 ppm). The study suggests that future works should focus on pH neutralization within the reactor with DC substrates and H2S removal in biogas composition.
