BIOGAS PRODUCTION THROUGH LIQUID FERMENTATION OF SOLID WASTE OF PINEAPPLE AND ORANGE
ARTÍCULO DE INVESTIGACIÓN
Keywords:
biodigester, anaerobic digestion, fruit residues, Escherichia Coli, biogasAbstract
The present research project focuses on the study of a mixture of the residues of the fruit peels using the microorganism Escherichia Coli for its use in anaerobic digestion in liquid fermentation. In the conditioning and experimental development, a measurement of parameters such as the concentration of organic matter, expressed as chemical oxygen demand, temperature, retention time and pH will be taken. The degradation rate is expressed as the biogas production under the different conditions. The substrates used for this investigation were the residues of the orange and pineapple peel. The reactor specified in this study is a laboratory bioreactor that has a manual control system for the main parameters: temperature, pH, and agitation. Once these results are obtained, the design of an anaerobic biodigester for obtaining biogas is continued. It is concluded that the estimated retention time for biogas production according to the prototype carried out is 30 days, thus guaranteeing the functionality of the design and generation of the anaerobic digestion products. The application of this project is recommended as a viable alternative for the proper management of organic waste and the protection of the environment.
