Design, Development and Evaluation of Slaughterhouse Anaerobic Digestion Plant Model
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
While extensive researches have been and are being carried out on biogas production from cow dung from abattoirs, the need to design, develop and evaluate a biogas plant specifically for the treatment of abattoir waste, production of biogas and compost materials has not received the attention of researchers. It was for this reason that this was explored in this study. An abattoir biogas plant model comprising of a 2.5 m3 equalization tank, 2.5m3 digester, 0.7m3 gasholder and 2.5 m3 digestate collection tank as well other appurtenances was developed and evaluated. The Modified gompertz model was used to describe the cumulative production. The total biogas produced was 0.61m3 while the maximum biogas potential was 0.771m3 . The maximum biogas production was 0.037 m3 /day while the lag phase was 10.53 days implying that it took the microorganisms more than 10 days to acclimatize and begin active digestion for biogas production. The parameters obtained would provide useful information for the eventual development of the prototype abattoir biogas plant.
