| description | Biogas technology is widely used as a better alternative in the
handling of waste in many societies in the world. This study was
conducted to investigate the effect of rumen content to water ratio in
biogas production. An experiment was carried out using 75 litre
capacity locally made anaerobic digester. Rumen contents were
formulated in three proportions designated as T1, T2 and T3. T1
contained 30kg of rumen contents and 30 litres of tap water; T2
contained 20kg of rumen contents and 40 litres of tap water; and T3
contained 40kg of rumen contents and 20 litres of tap water. Each
proportion was duplicated and the whole experiment was triplicated for
20 days each. The pH, substrate, ambient temperatures and the biogas
produced were recorded in two days' interval up to the 20 days.
The result obtained from the study showed that there were significant
differences (P < 0.05) in the average pH and the biogas produced.
The pH of T2 (6.97) was significantly higher than that of T1 (6.80) and
T3 (6.81). The biogas produced by T3 was significantly higher than that
of T1 and T2. T3 produced the highest average volume of 16.70m3 biogas
per kilogram of rumen content and the highest percentage (56.4%) of
methane. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the
average substrate and ambient temperatures, and the volume of CO2
produced. This study revealed that it is more efficient to produce
biogas using 40kg of rumen contents and 20 litres of tap water than
producing biogas with 30kg of rumen contents and 30 litres of tap water
or 20kg of rumen contents and 40 litres of tap water. |
