TLDR
In this article, the effect of feeding different fruit and vegetable wastes, mango, pineapple, tomato, jackfruit, banana and orange, was studied in a 60-liter digester by cycling each waste every fifth day in order to operate the digester as and when there was supply of feed.About:

Anaerobic digestion of biomass for methane production: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on anaerobic microbial conversion of biomass to methane has been presented, highlighting the urgent need for evaluating the inumerable unexplored genera of plants as potential sources for methane production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous co-digestion of cattle slurry with fruit and vegetable wastes and chicken manure
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuously stirred tank was used as a mesophilic anaerobic reactor to examine the effect of adding the FVW and CM to a system which was digesting cattle slurry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical methane potential of fruits and vegetable solid waste feedstocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the biochemical methane potential of 54 fruits and vegetable wastes samples and eight standard biomass samples were determined in order to compare extents and rates of their conversion to methane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-continuous co-digestion of solid slaughterhouse waste, manure, and fruit and vegetable waste
René Alvarez,Gunnar Lidén +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of semi-continuous mesophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) for the treatment of solid slaughterhouse waste, fruit-vegetable wastes, and manure in a co-digestion process has been experimentally evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogas from anaerobic digestion of fruit and vegetable wastes: Experimental results on pilot-scale and preliminary performance evaluation of a full-scale power plant
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental results obtained through an anaerobic digestion pilot plant by using fruit and vegetable wastes as single substrate were presented, and the optimum daily loading rate of wastes was 35 kg/d, with a corresponding hydraulic residence time of 27 days.

Methane production from agricultural and domestic wastes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss theoretical aspects and modelling of anaerobic digester systems and deviations from the theory of the digester system, including the batch culture and continuous cultures.

Microbial ecophysiology of whey biomethanation: characterization of bacterial trophic populations and prevalent species in continuous culture
M. Chartrain,J. G. Zeikus +1 more
TL;DR: A microbial food chain is proposed for lactose biomethanation that comprises multiple species in three different groups, with the major hydrogen-producing acetogen being a sulfate-reducing species, D. vulgaris, which functioned in the absence of significant levels of environmental sulfate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogas production by anaerobic digestion of fruit and vegetable waste. A preliminary study.
TL;DR: In this article, the mesophilic anaerobic digestion was used to evaluate the performance of apples, asparagus, carrots, green peas, French beans, spinach, and strawberries from a canning factory.

The effect of nitrogen-to-carbon ratio on anaerobic decomposition.
F. A. Sanders,Don E. Bloodgood +1 more
TL;DR: This research determined the effect of nitrogen and carbon in the organic matter fed each day to an anaerobic digester and evaluated factors such as feed rate, composition of organic material, volatile acids, alka linity, gas production, pH, nitrogen, and solids destruction.
