Abstract

A large amount of kitchen waste is generating in Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies – Basar (RGUKT-Basar); nearly this waste is 1500 Kg per day can be transformed into the energy source. A high quality renewable fuel can be generated from waste that reduces carbon-dioxide and methane emissions. In order to estimate the quality and the quantity of biogas production a different mixtures of cow dung and kitchen waste is carried out in 1liter and 2 liter capacity. 2 liter digester used for testing and analytical calculations of Total solids, Volatile fatty acids and pH variations, can affect the biogas production under controlled atmosphere. These digesters have been run for retention period of 52 days. The result shows that biogas produced in all the mixtures, the mixture contains equal ratio of cow dung and kitchen waste observed to be highest.
