| description | The objective of this
study was to determine the efficiency and theoretical stability of the
anaerobic digestion of the wastewater sludge obtained from a municipal
wastewater treatment plant, using co-digestion with cocoa pod husks. The
chemical structure of sewage sludge, including its high carbon and nitrogen
content in carbohydrates and fats, gives it vast potential for biomethane
generation. In this study, the main agri-food residues in the geographical area
where the study was conducted that could be used for co-digestion were determined,
and cocoa pod husks were found to be the best option based on elemental
chemical analysis. The results demonstrate that the co-digestion of sewage
sludge with cocoa pod husks can produce up to 555.7 L CH_4/Kg SV. In this article, we also propose
a method for estimating biochemical methane potential (theoretical BMP) based
on chemical equations and a systematic review of the most relevant research in
BMP. |
