Abstract

This research aims to examine the energy potential of the elephant camps located in Tumbon Maewin, Apmphoe Maewang, Chiang Mai, Thailand.A questionnaire survey was given to the research participants. The questions mainly focused on the energy consumption, monthly budget for buying energy, and their understanding on energy. The results from the participants in 16 elephant camps, handling 133 animals, indicated that the camps paid more than 3000, 10000, and 400 baths in average monthly for electricity, fuel oil, and cooking gas, respectively. However, the generated elephant dung of 4 tons per day has the gross and net heating values of 63600 and 58600 MJ which can be used as a renewable resource to produce renewable energy for replacing the fossil fuels serving the elephant camp activities.

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of starch wastewater for biogas production has been widely installed in Thailand for a decade. Unfortunately, this specific waste stream contains low alkalinity (Alk) and high volatile fatty acids (VFAs) which could easily lead to system instability. The appropriate monitoring indicators could help to decrease chance of reactor failure. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of the AD system and the effect of operating parameters i.e. oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and pH on the system in a continuous stirred tank reactor operated in semi-continuous mode at organic loading rate (OLR) of 1.0 kg COD/m3.day. The temperature was controlled at a mesophilic condition (35±2°C) for the whole experiment. The results showed that the average ORP and pH were -400 ±50 mV and 7.0 ± 0.2, respectively. The average biogas and methane yields were 0.901±0.128 NL/g VS added and 0.528±0.076 NL/g VS added, respectively. The methane composition was 58.43±4.76 %. The total COD and filtrated COD removal efficiencies were 94.75±1.42% and 97.88±0.53%, respectively. It could be concluded that at the low OLR (i.e. 1.0 kg COD/m3.day), pH and ORP was stable and fell within the recommended range for AD and indicated the stability of the system.
