Abstract

Working capacity of a small biogas plant built in a rural house was evaluated in order to analyze some of its parameters under  exploitation conditions, efficiency, and  gas effluent quality. Samples were  taken  at the digester input  and output for two different loads. A number of characteristics such  as total solids, non-volatile solids, volatile solids, oxygen  chemical demand, pH, methane content in gas and volume of gas produced were  determined. A Higher remotion efficiency for total oxygen  chemical demand and  volatile solids elimination was detected when a 1, 56 kg load of oxygen chemical demand m3 /day was applied, but methane percent was lower.
