Valores agregados de la biodigestión anaerobia del Jacinto de agua

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the possibility of producing biogas from the anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth in psychrophilic conditions, as an option for use in cooking food in the camp Guarumales Business Unit HidroPaute Electric Corporation of Ecuador .Additionally evaluated digestion residue as possible agricultural fertilizer. We estimate the amount of biomass needed to meet operational needs and is evaluated against vegetative growth rate to determine the technical feasibility of the project. Experimental values are given for the characterization of biogas and biofertilizers obtained result of anaerobic fermentation in batch reactor and inoculum guinea pig manure. The analysis results show that it is feasible to full replacement of energy sources by biogas if the fermentation process is conducted in psychrophilic conditions.
