Abstract

Biogas is a potential renewable energy source to meet energy needs, especially in remote areas that do not have access to electricity. The process of making biogas is carried out through anaerobic fermentation of organic materials such as vegetable waste, livestock manure and agricultural waste. This research aims to design a batch type biodigester that can produce biogas from a mixture of goat manure, chicken manure and vegetable waste. Biodigester is a reactor used to produce biogas. The stirred biodigester aims to mix the substrate evenly in the biodigester and prevent the formation of scum. The biodigester designed has a capacity of 120 liters with a stirring system to increase the efficiency of biogas production. The fermentation process was carried out for 21 days by monitoring parameters such as temperature, pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and methane gas concentration (CH4). The results showed that the temperature and pH in the biodigester remained in optimal conditions for the activity of methanogenic microorganisms. The highest CH4 concentration measurement was recorded on day 20 at 60%, which indicates good biogas quality. In addition, the flame test on day 21 produced a blue flame, indicating a high CH4 content. The decrease in CH4 concentration at the end of the study was caused by the exhaustion of organic material. This research contributes to the development of efficient and environmentally friendly biodigester technology to produce biogas as a renewable energy source.

Abstract

Biogas is a mixture of gases formed from the decomposition of organic materials with the help of bacteria through an anaerobic fermentation process (airtight) to produce biogas in the form of methane gas (CH4) that can be managed. In biogas production, pH is one of the factors that affects the production process where an inappropriate pH will cause the performance of microorganisms in degrading organic matter into biogas to be less than optimal. This can be seen from the COD reduction produced, namely COD reduction will increase when operating conditions are at optimal pH, for this reason, conditioning the operating process according to the optimum pH is needed. So that in order to maximize the production of biogas produced, research was conducted to determine the optimum pH in the biogas production process carried out at PT AMP Plantation. In this study, biogas production data was collected so that the optimum pH in the production process carried out was known. From the research that has been carried out, the optimum pH for the biogas production process is 7, which produces the highest COD reduction of 91.78%.
