Abstract:
The present study was aimed to examine the Bio-Hythane production in a single and two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) systems from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) along with its quantification by gas chromatography (GC). The Bio-Hythane produced in a single-stage is a blend of 6% H2, 20% CH4 and 30% CO2 in the first run and 5% H2, 25% CH4 and 34% CO2 in the second run whereas 6% H2, 15% CH4 and 56% CO2 in the two-stage AD. Statistical analysis concluded that there is a significant difference between both the methods.
