Abstract

In this paper, the potential to harness biogas from municipal waste is investigated and possible models that explain the kinetics derived. Municipal waste was anaerobically digested over a 60 day period at 37°C in 250 mL digesters. The cumulative biogas produced increased with increase in the digestion time. The experimental data was modelled for both linear and exponential equations in Excel. The linear equation, y = 15.3 + 1.26 fully described the linear behaviour in biogas generation in comparison to the exponential model. This was also shown by the R² value which showed the superiority of the linear model against the exponential model.
