Abstract

Soil conditioners like manure and slurry from farmyard and digestate which supply important nutrients to plants are known to contain pathogens which are equally withering to plants. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an organic or biological process which uses stored energy in organic compounds for biogas production. Ongoing research work has focused on the best possible ways of improving on digestive processes. This work thus contains recent contributions towards the effective AD process parameter in biogas yield, the most important parameters affecting the production of biogas and its process parameters (process configuration, temperature, pH, organic loading rate, retention time, concentration of hydrogen, agitation, moisture content, and inoculum). However, with improvement in technology, AD bottlenecks caused by the physicochemical properties of substrate are addressed and the hazardous greenhouse gas present in biogas yield is easily removed from AD processing yield. In this study, some of the process parameters and latest technologies for improved biogas yield have been revealed.
