PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN AMPAS KELAPA DAN KULIT PISANG TERHADAP PRODUKSI BIOGAS DARI KOTORAN SAPI
Abstract: Biogas is a
renewable or alternative energy utilizing the decomposition process of awide
range of organicwastes that generates methane gas (CH4). The purpose of this
study is to evaluate the effect of the addition of coconut pulp and banana
peels on biogas yield from cow dung. Parameters to be observed include:
characteristics of substrates, degree of acidity (pH), temperature, biogas
production and biogas yield, as well as the flame from biogas burning. This
research is expected to produce an appropriate technology for treating waste of
coconut pulp and banana peels into value added products and scientific
information on the effect of the addition of coconut pulp and banana peels to
biogas. The experiment design was a completely randomized design of six treatments,with
consecutive composition of cowdung : banana peel : coconut pulp namely
A50:40:10, B50:30:20, C 50:20:30, D 50:10:40, E 50:0:50, and F 50:50:0 with 3
replications. The data were analyzed by using ANOVA followed byDuncan test. The
results showed that the additionof coconut pulp and reductionof banana peels in
the biogas composition affected pH, C/N ratio, and biogas production, but had
no effect on the temperature, and biogas yield. The increase in coconut pulp
resulted in lower pH, the C/N ratio, and biogas production. Optimum condition
is the treatment with composition of 50:50:0 without the addition of coconut
pulp with a C/N ratio of 21,22 and pH of 5,5-6,5.
