Effct of Solid Content and pH on Biogas Production From Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste
Keywords:
Anaerobic digestion (AD), biogas production, organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW).Abstract
The increasing demand for energy and the constraints on environmental aspects motivate the
research on municipal solid waste to be an environmentally friendly source of renewable energy. Therefore
using the organic fraction of municipal solid household waste in an anaerobic digester to produce biogas and
a digestate which can be used safely as fertilizer. In this study, three reactors of two-liter volume are used to
investigate the effect of total solid content (10%, 15%, 20%) and pH on the produced amount of biogas. The
results revealed that a lower percentage of solid content yields the highest amount of biogas and the pH below
6.0 will inhibit biogas production. The percentage of methane from the 10% reactor was 50.2 % of the gas
production
