Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Food Waste with Crude Glycerol for Biogas Production

Abstract

Biogas production from anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and crude glycerol was investigated in this study. The effect of different combination ratios of substrates on biogas production were examined with the inoculum to substrate ratio of 1:2. The results revealed that co-digestion of food waste and glycerol is promising in the experimental conditions studied and can potentially be used to enhance biogas production while contributing to the management and treatment of these wastes.
