Impact of temperature, inoculum flow pattern, inoculum type, and their ratio on dry anaerobic digestion for biogas production.

ABSTRACT: This study is aimed to apply dry anaerobic digestion (DAD) for methane (CH₄) enriched biogas production from unsorted organic municipal solid waste (MSW). Cumulative biogas production was monitored for 35 days of operation in batch digesters at fixed feedstock to inoculum (F/I) ratio 2. Anaerobic sludge (AS) and cow manure (CM) were used as inoculum in single and mixed modes. Several process parameters such as inoculum flow pattern (single layer, multilayer, and spiral), digestion temperature (25 to 40 °C), inoculation modes (single and mixed mode), and inoculation proportion (AS:CM = 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1) were investigated to determine the optimum DAD conditions to maximize the CH₄ laden biogas yield. The study of inoculum flow pattern showed that digester with mul
