Abstract

This study indicates the modelling and optimization of biogas production on assorted substrates of poultry wastes (PW) and cow dung using RSM and ANN. Three-layered ANN feedforward BP and RSM models were developed to estimate the yield of biogas produced via mixture of CD and PW droppings produced from a bio-digester system in the ratio 1:2. At the first run, maximum biogas yield of 51.3% was achieved with 38:23 CD/PW within the retention time of 9 days. The results showed that the coefficient of determination (R2) of the RSM and ANN models were 0.9998 and 1.0. The root-mean-square-error (RMSE) for best RSM and ANN were obtained at 0.0055 and 0.00022188. The study showed that ANN result seems marginally better than the RSM model. This is a confirmation that biomass could be harnessed in solving the current global energy crisis.
