Abstract

The Generated Biogas Rate (GBRT) model and the Predicted Maximum Biogas Potential and Yield (PMBPY) model were developed in this work for better understanding of the anaerobic co-digestion of vinasse waste and tofu residue at variation of total carbon/total nitrogen (C/N) ratio which was 3.71, 5.26, 7.30, 32.54, 97.34. Rate constant (k (/day)) and biogas production rate (ū (mL/day)) estimated using GBRT model was 0.071, 0.140, 0.153, 0.150, 0.125 /day and 20.206, 101.393, 111.832, 95.967, 58.616 mL/day respectively for all variables (R2 of 0.925 – 0.976). The maximum biogas potential (Pm) obtained using PMBPY model for all variables was 335.8317, 737.0868, 760.4523, 608.3871, 523.3872 mL respectively (R2 = 0.914 – 0.972). The fitting error between measured biogas and predicted biogas through the developed model was 0.20 – 7.03 %. The developed kinetic model can predict biogas potential with prediction efficiency (%) over modified Gompertz model of 91.71 – 98.57%.
