Abstract

The huge waste loads generated by the animals in farms have made animal waste treatment a critical issue. Proper treatment is required to avert the adverse effects of these wastes on water quality, public health, and air quality. This project assessed the feasibility of anaerobic co-digestion of the smell nuisance producing, poultry waste and pig manure and evaluated the optimum biogas production by comparing these two substrates in different mixing ratios at different atmospheric temperatures in three mini biogas plants for 26 days. Based on the optimum biogas production, a low cost biogas digester of 1 m3 size is designed and fabricated which will help the pig farmers especially who lease the land for pig farming who have to move from one place to another after their prescribed period of leasing and the biogas production performance from this is analyzed for 30 days.
