Abstract

Renewable energy technology is seemingly becoming an antidote to the negative environmental effect being experienced using conventional energy resources (fossil fuels) in most part of the world today. This study was on biogas production technologies as a renewable and sustainable alternative to depleting conventional sources. Biogas was produced from poultry discharge using a thermostatic cabinet (batch reactor) operated at mesophilic temperature (37°C). The reactor was fed with poultry discharge calculated based on its volatile solid (VS) concentration. The concentration of the gas produced was measured with the gas analyzer GA 2000 model. The biogas and methane yields obtained were 509.6 L/kgVS and 328.2 LCH4/kgVS respectively. After the headspace correction, the Methane (CH4) content was found to be 76.7% while the Carbon dioxide (CO2)constituted up to 14.3%. This study has established that poultry discharge is a decent renewable energy source for sustainable development in emerging nations of Africa.

间歇式反应器在中温条件下禽肉排泄物的产气潜力

可再生能源技术似乎正在成为当今世界大部分地区使用传统能源(化石燃料)所经历的负面环境影响的解毒剂。这项研究是关于沼气生产技术作为一种可再生和可持续的替代耗尽传统来源的技术。利用恒温箱(间歇式反应器)在中温(37°C)下运行，从家禽排泄物中生产沼气。用根据挥发性固体(VS)浓度计算的家禽排出物饲喂反应器。用GA - 2000型气体分析仪测定了所产气体的浓度。沼气产率为509.6 L/kgVS，甲烷产率为328.2 LCH4/kgVS。顶空校正后，甲烷(CH4)含量为76.7%，二氧化碳(CO2)含量高达14.3%。这项研究表明，家禽排泄物是非洲新兴国家可持续发展的一种体面的可再生能源。
