Abstract

A biogas plant is modern energy source and is suitable to the necessities of the future. The Production of biogas as an alternative energy by using Prosopis Juliflora with Poultry waste. Energy Consumption rate is high when compared to its Production rate in all over the world. So, we are all choose the Prosopis Juliflora plant. Prosopis Juliflora is the botanical name of Seemai Karuvelam. In rural areas people cut down the trees for cooking purpose and also used in thermal power station and the remaining leaves left down. By utilizing the Leaves of Prosopis Juliflora we are produce Biogas from in it by adding Poultry waste as an additive. Biogas production from floating dome digester containing the mixture of poultry waste and Prosopis Juliflora was studied for a period of 18 days at ambient temperature. Results from this study show that co-digestion of poultry waste and Prosopis Juliflora increased biogas yield as compared to pure samples of poultry waste. At the temperature of 31.6°C with 7 PH on the 9th day, it was observed that the volume of biogas production from the mixture is 0.039m3/kg respectively.
