Methane Potential of Various Organic Wastes: Study of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) Test Before Co-Digestion

The object of this research was to evaluate biodegradability of various organic waste in anaerobic digestion(AD). Slaughterhouse by-production and sludge, sewage sludge, animal manure and food waste has been used in this study. C/N ratio was used to estimate and to enhance the efficiency of AD. The highest biodegradability was appeared from food waste as 92.14%, and the lowest was shown from animal manure as 15.34%. Cattle rumen content showed highest C/N ratio (19.2), however, biodegradability was low as 34.02%.
