Abstract

Energy is considered as one of the important factor contributing in the economic and social development of the country. Non renewable energy sources are limited and now there is no alternative to use renewable energy sources rather than non renewable one. In the developing country like India bagasse and press mudwastes are available in plenty, these wastes can be used for generation of biogas. As most of the wastes alone cannot be used directly for Biomethanation some combinations of waste were tested. The Biomethanation process is carried out by microorganisms and various environmental factors affect the Biomethanation process. In the present study different physicochemical parametersof Biomethanation optimized at 4 L level digesters, mainly hydraulic retention time (HRT), Organic loading rate (OLR), temperature, pH affecting Biomethanation process were studied. It was found that hydraulic retention time of 20 days, Organic loading rate of VS 6.1gm/day, pH of 7, and a temperature range of 38-40C were optimum for biogas production.
