In order to enhance the performance of a biogas generation process and prevent process failure, certain operataing parameters need to be controlled. This article presents the results of a series of studies in which the effect of temperature, pH, carbon -nitrogen ratio and retention time on biogas pr

โฆ Synopsis
Biogas as a clean and cheap fuel is studied with the aim of determining the effect of seeding with bacteria on its production rate using four different substrates. The seeding with four different digesters was carried out with 5g of digested cowdung sludge obtained from a working digester. Results indicate that of all the substrates used for the studies, inomea asarifobiaproduced the highest amount of biogas over a period of 40 days.

The specific growth rate constant for bacterial growth does not obey the Arrhenius-type kinetics displayed by simple chemical reactions. Instead, for bacteria, steep convex curves are observed on an Arrhenius plot at the low- and high-temperature ends of the biokinetic range, with a region towards t
