Abstract

The main aim of this study is to produce the biogas from food wastes. In our institute we have two hostels and having their own mess, where daily a large amount of Food waste is obtained which can be utilized for better purposes. Biogas production requires anaerobic digestion. Project was to create an Organic Processing Facility to create biogas which will be more cost effective, eco-friendly, cut down on landfill waste, generate a high-quality renewable fuel, and reduce carbon dioxide & methane emissions. The continuously-fed digester requires addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to maintain the alkalinity and pH to 7. In our study, the production of biogas and methane is done from the starch-rich and sugary material and is determined at laboratory scale using the simple digesters.
