Biogas Production from Sericulture Wastewater as Feed Stocks in Batch Process using Rumen Fluid
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to explore the biogas production potential from liquid and solid wastes arising from the sericulture industry. Batch studies conducted using silk reeling waste substrates that were mixed in suitable proportions to have 8% TS and inoculated with rumen fluid @5% as starter inoculums revealed that the specific biogas production (L/Kg of feed) for all types of sericulture wastes was found to be around 0.11 (L/Kg/day). Among the different substrate combinations tested, silk reeling wastewater mixed with feed waste in the ratio of 1:0.3:0.05 showed best results with higher gas production of 2.94 (L/Kg/day) and a methane content of 67per cent. The biogas production in other sericulture wastes mixed with silk reeling wastewater varied from 2.38 (L/Kg/day) to 2.65 (L/Kg/day), indicating the potentiality of biogas production from sericulture industry wastes.
