Quantitative Analysis of The Effect of Organic Additive (Cymbopogon Citratus) on the Production of Biogas
Abstract
This study is a quantitative analysis of the effect of organic additives (Cymbopogon citratus) on the production of biogas. The substrates (cow dung, poultry droppings) was mixed in ratio 1:1 while addition of additive to substrates was maintained in ratio 1:4. Also, the water to substrate ratio was 1:1.4 to result in a total slurry content of 6 litres. At the end of the first 7 days of the experiment, a total of 357.4ml of biogas had been collected at an average of 51.06ml per day. At the end of another round of 7 days, 346.9ml of biogas was realized with an average of 50.7ml per day. One end of the hose was connected to the digester gas outlet located at the top of the digester and the other end of the hose (rubber) was connected to a graduated flask for gas collection and measurement. At the end of the study, it was observed that Cymbopogon citratus is not a good additive for the production of biogas. The yield (biogas) was reduced on the addition of the additive to the substrate for the production of biogas. The reason for this inhibition is due to the relatively undigested state of the additives compared to the substrates.
