✦ Synopsis
The anaerobic digestion of Chlorella vulgaris was studied using batch digesters. Standard analysis of chemical oxygen demand (COD), solids, pH, acidity, alkalinity and chlorophyll were done. Biogas composition and production were also determined. The conversion ofbiomass to biogas ranged from 70-90% in COD. This implies that C. vulgaris could constitute a valuable method of bioconversion of sun energy to biogas.

## Abstract Anaerobic digestion offers a potential means of converting organic solid waste into fuel gas and thereby provide a supplemental and readily utilizable source of energy. We are particularly interested in the use of thermophilic digestion over a mesophilic operation for it can achieve hig
