Construction Of Digester And Production Of Biogas Using Cow Dung And Kitchen Waste
ABSTRACT
The challenge arising
from the recent rise in price and scarcity of fuels has resulted to the use of
alternative energy sources where animal manure and kitchen waste are used to
produce bio gas as substitute to fossil fuel. In this work (biogas production)
in two treatments was setup consisting 25kg of kitchen waste (rice, plantain
and banana peels) and 15kg of cow dung all in 40kg of water for digester A ,
and 25kg of kitchen waste (rice plantain and banana peels) 15kg cow dung, 10kg
water hyacinth and 40kg of water for digester B. The retention period was (40)
forty days. Observation shows that biogas started generating on the 5 day.
Ignition test conducted on the biogas generated produced blue flame when the
valve was open small. When the valve was open totally it produced yellow flame.
The analysis of th gas composition shows a methane content of 53.34% for
treatment A and 65% for treatment. It was concluded from the study that
improved composition of methane in locally produced bio gas could be achieved
using water hyacinth. This has opened up opportunity to explore the raw
material for such application.
