Abstract:
Anaerobic digestion processes of agricultural resources, as single substrates (wheat bran and barley) or as combination of substrates (75 % corn & 25% corn cob � named MIX1 and 40 % corn & 40 % wheat & 20 % sunflower husks � named MIX2), were performed, at a mesophilic temperature in a batch reactor, at pilot scale. The results proved that the higher quantity of biogas yield was achieved for barley, followed by MIX1, and finally MIX2. The same order was obtained when the total methane production was evaluated. The performances of digesters were mathematically evaluated by using the modified Gompertz equation. The kinetic parameters, such as the methane production potential (MP), the maximum methane production rate (Rm) and the extent of lag phase (l) were calculated, for each experimental case. The values of the performance indicators confirmed that all the models fitted well with the experimental data.
