| description | In the present paper, we investigated about the potential of municipal solid waste (MSW) and camel dung
(CD) as feedstock for biogas production. The media composition for biogas production is the main aim of this
study. Batch mesophilic biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were carried out and the methane
potential as well as the biodegradability of all substrates was defined. Three reactors (digesters) with two (2)
liters capacity were operated to investigate about the effect of co-digestion of MSW and CD manure on biogas
product quality and efficiency. The result had shown that the MSW and CD contained well balanced
nutrients for anaerobic microorganisms to biogas production. The experimental studies indicated that the
biological biogas production of organic fraction of municipal solid waste and camel dung in mesophilic
(T=40°C) temperature was ranging from 45% to 57%. This study has indicated that the MSW and CD are a
highly desirable substrate for anaerobic digestion with regards to their high biodegradability and methane
yield. |
