Abstract


This paper is an investigatory report of water hyacinth and poultry droppings for biogas generation that deals with the kinetics of appropriate blend of substrate (water hyacinth and poultry droppings) in varying proportion for effective biogas production for domestic use. Environmental and water resources problems are solved by means of harnessing their potentials. The study was done in batch feed digester. Attempts were made to reach at optimum condition for the production of maximum amount of gas by the addition of lower volatile fatty acids, poultry droppings and inoculums etc at suitable temperature of 350C, pH value of 6-7 and retention time of 10-60 days. The study reveals that 50gm of water hyacinth added to 250ml of water produce more gas when compared to 50gms of poultry dropping added to 250ml of water.

KEYWORDS: biogas, water hyacinth, poultry droppings
