Abstract

This study aims to investigate the potential of substrate for producing biogas from common reed (Phragmites australis), a perennial grass, and provide the techniques to select optimal and reasonable materials with high methane production. By determining the parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), volatile solids (VS), and percentage of element chemicals, carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and sulfur (S) of raw materials henceforth through the TBMP (theoretical biochemical methane potential) via calculations give the maximum methane potential of particular available in feedstock and present by methane yield per unit of mass of feedstock (mlCH4/gVS). In this study, the results were obtained from TBMPThEC and TBMPThCOD that were highest at 460.890 mlCH4/gVS and 130.88 mlCH4/gVS, respectively. The results showed that based on COD calculations, the results were consistent with the ability to create methane in the experiment and based on elemental compositions showed that the further potential to produce methane of feedstock.
