Response Surface Methodology in Valorization Process Modelling of Different wastes

Abstract

Organic waste can be effectively managed and processed into energy through the anaerobic co-digestion process. The experiments have been designed for the analysis of anaerobic digestion process of different squanders like water hyacinth, wheat bran, fruit waste and cow dung in continuous feed reactor using Design expert software-10. The influence of temperature, pH and hydraulic retention time on methane yield was studied using central composite design surface approach. The maximum biogas and desirability were found to be 1163.59 ml and 0.629, respectively.
