PRODUKSI BIOGAS DARI LIMBAH PASAR DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN STARTER KOTORAN KUDA (EQQUS CABALLUS)

Abstract: Waste processing into biogas is one solution to the garbage problem. In this study, the waste processed is derived from Pasar Raya, Padang. By mixing the waste market and horse manure can increase the C/N ratio of manure and the biogas production. A variety of composition of manure (M) : waste of market (WM) is as follows 1:1, 1:2, 1:2.5, and 1:3. From these composition the C/N ratio will be respectively 22.62, 27.24, 29.55 and 31.86. The volume of biogas produced  is measured every day. Optimum biogas production obtained at M : WM (1:2.5) is 10.02 L. Thus, the methane content was also measured by means absorption method after the purification of 0.5 M NaOH and found to be 86.17%. From this work it was also obtained the total solid (TS) for the initial mixture and slurry, and they are respectively 4.79% and 5.7%, while for the volatile solids (VS) obtained respectively 79.96% and 72.30%.
