DISCUSSIONS :

From the result it has been seen that in set2 which contain kitchen waste produces more gas,
compare to other two set. In set2 with kitchen waste produces average 250.69% more gas than
set 1 (with 200gm cow dung) and 67.5% more gas than set 3 (with 400gm cow dung). Means
kitchen waste produces more gas than cow dung as kitchen waste contains more nutrient than
dung. So use of kitchen waste provide more efficient method of biogas production.

Table 3 : Biogas production in ml

Set 1st day 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th average
no./day
1 30 35 20 10 - 40 25 10 23.75
2 80 150 120 50 - 60 90 115 89.37
3 85 75 58 35 - 20 70 100 60.02

From results it has been seen that pH reduces as the process going on as the bacteria produces
fatty acids. Here methanogens bacteria which utilize the fatty acids, is slow reaction compare to
other so it is rate limiting step in reaction. In set2 which contains kitchen waste pH decreases
highly means reaction is fast, means hydrolysis and acidogenesis reaction is fast as organism
utilize the waste more speedily than dung. And total solid decreases more in set2.

Table 4 : pH and total solid concentration of setup.

Day Set 1 Set 2 Set 3


PH TS % PH TS % PH TS %
1 7.25 8 7.2 6 7.25 8
4 6.7 7.6 5.8 5.4 6.6 7.5
5 6.85 7.6 6.45 5.4 6.9 7.5
8 6.65 7 4.92 4.7 6.5 7
GRAPH – This graph shows that first the ph is on higher side, as reaction inside the bottles continues it stars

decreasing and after day 3 it becomes acidic. Than water added to dilute and thus pH increases.
