Abstract

Laboratory-scale digesters were constructed to investigate the effect of digester shape (horizontal and vertical) and substrate type, cattle dung (CD), chicken manure (CM) as mono-digestion and a mixture of them (50% CD+ 50% CM, w/w) as co-digestion on quantity and quality of biogas produced. The experimental work was carried out at 20±3 ºC (winter season), 29±3 ºC (summer season) and 38±1 ºC (heating treatment) through digestion period of 60 days. The results showed that, the highest value methane 68.1% (by volume) was obtained from the vertical digester of fed with CD+CM at summer temperature. On the contrary, the lowest value of methane 42.0% was obtained in the horizontal digesters fed with CM alone under heating temperature. The highest value of specific methane production rate of 238 L kg-1VS added per day was obtained from the horizontal digesters fed with CD+CM at summer temperature, while the lowest rate of  32 L kg-1VS added per day was observed in the horizontal digesters fed with CM alone under heating temperature.
