Kinetic Study and Model Development for Cumulative Biogas Production from Cattle Dung | Chapter 5 | Advanced Aspects of Engineering Research Vol. 15

 Methane, carbon dioxide, and traces of numerous trace elements make up biogas. It is produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as cattle manure, and it is influenced by a number of factors that affect the population and activity of the bacteria that produce biogas. One of the many factors that influences biogas production from cattle manure is temperature.

At temperatures ranging from 35°C to 55°C, with each step of 5°C, the influence of temperature on biogas production from cattle dung was tested. A mathematical model developed in this work is used to assess the effect of temperature on the rate of biogas production from cattle manure.

To develop the new mathematical model, the temperature influence is added to the modified Gompertz model. At temperatures ranging from 35°C to 55°C, the new model was found to be capable of predicting biogas production from cattle manure. The new model's results are found to be substantially connected with the current study's experimental data.
