Evaluation of the effect of initial solid matter concentration and season on anaerobic biodegradation of municipal solid wastes
Abstract
The necessity for reduction of fossil fuel
consumption and the increasing energy costs drives the interest in development
of alternative renewable energies during past years. OFMSW (Organic Fraction of
Municipal Solid Wastes) is a valuable
source, while it can be converted to biogas via anaerobic digestion. In this
study The anaerobic digestibility and
methane generation potential of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes
(OFMSW) sampled during three seasons (autumn, winter and summer) of a year were
determined using batch bioreactors with varying initial dry solid matter ratios
(DM:5-35 %). Batch experiments
were carried out both with and without anaerobic inoculum. On the basis of the laboratory results,
biogas production potentials were determined to be in the range of 229 - 484 m3/tonDM for
experiment using anaerobic inoculum and 84 – 176 m3 /ton DM for
experiments without inoculum. The best organic matter combination belongs to
autumn season and the best concentration was observed as 20% DM.
