Anaerobic digestion of spoiled milk from dairy industry for biogas production – optimization of operating parameters and kinetic modeling of the pilot scale study
BMC Environmental Science(2024)
Abstract
Spoiled milk from the dairy industry was subjected to anaerobic treatment to produce biogas at 37℃ in this experiment. Parameters such as inoculum dosage, pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and retention time were optimized in a laboratory-scale batch reactor for 90 days. The anaerobic digestion of spoilt milk was carried out in a laboratory setting using a batch reactor. Then, using the recognized protocols of the APHA, the characteristics of the spoilt milk were assessed. In order to enhance the accuracy of predicting the reactor's performance, the research adopted two different models for kinetic analysis: the Stover-Kincannon model and the Grau second-order multi-component model. The reactor's improved performance, as indicated by evaluated kinetic parameters, was shown by the superior results from both of these models. The results attained from the reactor’s performance were then used as a reference to improve biogas production in a 100 L Anaerobic Sequential Batch Reactor (ASBR) for 45 days. The ASBR achieved a high COD removal efficiency of 92.4
