BIOGAS GENERATION FROM, EC AND TDS REDUCED, COIR PITHPRIYA V. AND SAMPATH KUMAR M.C.Abstract The natural degradation of coir pith is a slow process. An alternative solution for the disposal of coir pith is the anaerobic degradation of coconut coir pith. The anaerobic degradation of raw coir pith was conducted and very less quantity of biogas generation was noted. One of the reason for the low biogas generation was its high electrical conductivity and high total dissolved solids content in it. In continuation of this work, the anaerobic degradation of the EC and TDS reduced coir pith was conducted. There was a considerable increase in the biogas generated from anaerobic degradation of EC reduced coir pith than the anaerobic degradation of raw coir pith. |
