Özet

As a result of anaerobic fermentation of biodegradable organic wastes, a gas mixture containing methane and carbon dioxide mainly, is produced. The organic complex solid wastes that might be harmful for human can be treated using the anaerobic fermentation process producing useful energy and also fertiliser. In this study, methane production from six different solid wastes was investigated using six small batch laboratory fermenters each of that had a volume of 10 liters and a pilot scale fermenter which had a volume of 0.96 m(3). All experiments were performed at 35 degrees C, and the results were applied to the different microbial kinetics that are indicated in literature.
