Evaluation of the methanogenic potential of anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial wastes.

ABSTRACT: Waste management technologies have become a way to generate value-added products. Anaerobic digestion (AD) allows biogas generation by treating organic wastes. In this work, the methanogenic potentials of anaerobic digestion of rumen and chicken manure, two typical agro-industrial wastes from the Colombian Caribbean region, were evaluated. On a first stage, the effect of temperature on anaerobic digestion of manure inoculated with liquid rumen was measured. Results revealed that the thermophilic digestion produces more biogas (up to 47% higher than the mesophilic digestion), but the mesophilic digestion has better biogas quality (up to 20% more methane than the thermophilic digestion). On the second experimental stage, it was assessed the effect of temperature regimen and the addition of f
