dc.description.abstractThe production of biogas, an alternative source of energy, from Groundnut Shell (GS) and Cow Dung (CD) was investigated in the laboratory scale using the simple locally fabricated digesters labeled A-E of 4,000cm3 working volume. The digesters were fed on a batch basis with the slurry of different mix ratio and operated at ambient temperature (28-40°C) for 30days. The result of chemical analyses shows that Steam Explosion (SE) reduces the total solid of GS from 87.90% to 79.42% while the volatile solid was increased from75.11% to 86.32% as a result of SE pre-treatment. Though the nitrogen content of GS increases after SE, the carbon content remains barely constant even after SE. The co-digestion of 25%CD-75%GS, 50%CD-50%GS, and 75%CD-25%GS have their highest gas production around sixteen and twenty-first day of retention period respectively while their least were recorded toward the end of the retention period. Also, digester A and E containing 100% each of CD and GS being the control for the pre-treated have their highest biogas production around eighteen and twenty first day of retention period respectively and the least are also seen toward the end of the digestion.en_US
