Codigestion Of Oryza Sativa Husks And Musa Paradisiaca Peels For The Production Of Biogas

Oryza sativa husks and peels of Musa paradisiaca were pretreated by hydrothermal and acid fermentation using cassava mill effluent, and co-digested in a laboratory scale reactor maintained at 45 ± 2 ⁰C for 42 days. Five digesters were used for the experiment and each digester contained equal proportion of Oryza sativa husks and Musa paradisiaca in the ratio of 1:1; and cow dung (the inoculum) was added across. Substrate in Digester X (Control) was not pretreated. Digester A contained Oryza sativa husks pretreated hydrothermally; Oryza sativa husks in Digester B was pretreated with cassava mill…
