Abstract

This study, aimed at maximizing the biogas yield from the co-digestion of food waste (FW) and cymbopogon citratus (CC) was done in reactors (Rs) I–V at temperature of 36 ± 2 °C. Rs I, II, III, IV and V with respective FW: CC of 100:0; 80:20; 60:40; 40:60; 0:100 had mean biogas yield of 0.41 ± 0.02, 0.68 ± 0.05, 0.49 ± 0.02, 0.29 ± 0.01, and 0.22 ± 0.03 L/gVS, respectively. From the modeling result, while R I had the least latency (λ) of 3.9, RV had the highest value of 11.2 days. RII also had a reasonably low latency (λ) of 5.2 days. Top maximum specific biogas yield (Rm) of 0.48 L/gVS/day and maximum biogas production potential (A) of 19.9 L/gVS were obtained from RII. The high R2 values of 0.99–0.89 obtained from the simulation analysis showed a good fit with the modified Gompertz model. The study has revealed that FW: CC of 80: 20% could be most appropriate for optimal biogas production.
