Abstract

In this two-phase study, it was shown that a mixture with equal parts of manure and resulting animal blood was the optimal combination for obtaining biogas and biol. A quadratic growth trend in variable gas pressure over time—as well as its behavior—was confirmed for pHs around the neutral value for the substrate used in both the pilot phase and in the microplant, which had a mechanical implementation and mechatronic system for the control of variables that intervene in the anaerobic digestion process; this allowed for the confirmation of the results found in the first phase of research—without concerns that a lack of control over the process variables would cause—in such a way that it constituted a path for the industrialization of the waste treatment process in slaughterhouses that could be optimized by the use of the optimal combination that produces the greatest cm 3 amount of gas. Anaerobic digestion in biodigesters is carried out at different constant temperature values within the mesophilic range, with a hydraulic retention time of 25 days. A direct relationship was found between temperature, biogas production and pH behavior in the buffer(s). The pH remained close to neutral and the gas pressure increased from 15 to 20. The findings indicated that the value for the C/N ratio of the blood of four was compensated for by its buffer system, composed of bicarbonate, hemoglobin, proteins and phosphates.
