Abstract

Methane potential is the volume of methane gas produced during anaerobic degradation in the presence of the bacteria of an initially inserted sample. This paper presents a degradation study of the green and industrial fermentable waste sheltered by the landfill of Mohammedia in which the biogas deposit and the associated recoverable energy at the end of exploitation is estimated and the power of the gas engine of the proposed cogeneration unit is calculated. The Total potential biogas production value of the household waste of the city of Mohammedia is much higher than that of the American and French household waste recommended by the US EPA and French ADEME. This calls into question the adaptability of the modeling tools for biogas production to Moroccan waste. The four modeling equations for landfill will be evaluated. The results show that the ADEME model proved to be more descriptive and better adapted to this case.
