INFLUENCE OF INOCULUM PERCENTAGE ON BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE USING COW DUNG AS INOCULUM

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste was carried out in this study for 60 days at room temperature in batch reactor with different percentage of cow dung as inoculum. The digestion was carried out in laboratory scale. The characteristics of the MSW and cow dung were analyzed. The daily biogas productions from the reactors were measured. At the end of the study, the biogas yield from the reactors R1, R2, R3 and R4 were 24.88 L, 64.45 L, 79.74 L, and 109.18L respectively. The percentage of methane in the biogas was found to be 70%.
