Abstract:

Management of municipal solid waste is a great deal of business for municipalities. In this study, co­digestion of organic fraction of municipal solid waste and landfill leachate is investigated. A two­staged and a total volume of 5m3 digester system is used. Operating temperature is 37 °C (±1°C) in both digesters. 200 kg/day municipal solid organic waste and landfill leachate is fed to the first digester with a 10% dry matter content for 70 day. The hydraulic retention time is 25 days and the experiment is conducted for 70 days. 610 lt CH4/kgVS methane is produced and the concentration of the methane in the biogas is 68%.
