Abstract:
India’s economic growth is contributing to a massive increase in the generation of
solid waste. Approximately 55 million tones of Municipal Solid Waste is generated
annually by urban areas in India. Over 59 % of homes in urban India use Liquified
Petroleum Gas (LPG) supplied in portable cylinders for their cooking needs
Our institute canteen (AIKTC) utilize several LPG cylinders and also generates
large amounts of kitchen waste. The kitchen waste generated has high calorific value
and moisture content; hence it can be anaerobically digested. The biogas produced
can be used to supplement the fuel requirements of the campus kitchens that generate
the kitchen waste. This study consists of carrying out survey, characterization of
kitchen waste and exploring it’s potential to be used for biogas production.
In this project we have carried out different processes such as pre-heat treatment,
fine particle & coarse particle test, coffee ground addition to increase the yield of
biogas production.The output of all these processes were
