Abstract | This project investigated the methane production by anaerobic co-digestion using Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS). Food waste (FW), waste cooking oil- Canola oil (FOG), and thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) were used as substrates for anaerobic digestion in two sets of experiments. All the substrates were digested individually in the first set of experiments. In the second set, they were combined in different proportions (four combinations) and were co-digested. All the experiments were carried at mesophilic temperature (37˚C). Results obtained from the first set established that FOG is not a suitable substrate for anaerobic digestion. From the second set of experiments, it was found that FOG did not cause inhibition. However, presence of FOG in co-digestion process caused problems which led to decreased yield of methane in all the four combinations. |
