THE USE OF OUT-OF-DATE FROZEN FOOD AS A SUBSTRATE FOR BIOGAS IN ANAEROBIC METHANE FERMENTATION
THE USE OF OUT-OF-DATE FROZEN FOOD AS A SUBSTRATE FOR BIOGAS IN ANAEROBIC METHANE FERMENTATION

Summary/Abstract: The declining quantity of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for energy are two of the many problems that are affecting current times. This is why there is an increasing interest in and introduction of operations related to renewable sources of energy. One of many such possibilities is to conduct the biomass methane fermentation process and to obtain clean energy in the form of biogas. The aim of this research was to analyse the biogas-generating potential (Biochemical Methane Potential) of out-of-date frozen products in the laboratory anaerobic fermentation process and the near-infrared method with appropriate Biochemical Methane Potential calibration. The results obtained showed that selected frozen products are an excellent material for use as substrates resulting in the production of high quality biogas. It gives the opportunity to continue research, mainly in terms of applications, e.g. for biogas plants, using other available products on the market and the selection of their mixtures.
