The Investigation of the Waste Effect on Biogas Production

The amount of the energy consumption rate are directly related to the such a parameters the welfare level and industrial revoluation. Additionally to those reason, the energy utilization intensively rises depending on the increasing world population and higher welfare level standarts. Carbon based fuels are not renewable and environmentally unfriendly therefore many of the research group and university have been working on renewable and sustainable energy sources such as hydrogen, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, biodiesel and biogas. Biogas production has been preferred beacuse of those reasons, easy construction and transportation, sustainability and also fermantated biomass is very effective fertiliser for agriculture in farms. The type of the reactor, the fermantation conditions, the feeding of the bacteria has increased the biogas production from different waste sources. In this study, 50 liter lab scale pilot reactor was designed and the fermantation conditions, and the effect of the different wastes such as vegetable waste, organic industrial waste and etc. were investigated on the biogas production yield. The results showed that fermentation condition and feeding play an important role for biogas production that tea dreg decrease the biogas while mulberry dreg and other vegetable sources increase the biogas production.
