Project Abstract

Abstract
Biogas production from food waste through anaerobic digestion has gained significant attention due to its potential to address environmental issues, energy sustainability, and waste management challenges. This research focuses on the optimization of biogas production from food waste using anaerobic digestion processes. The study aims to investigate various factors that influence biogas yield, such as substrate composition, process parameters, and reactor design. A detailed literature review was conducted to analyze existing studies, identify gaps in research, and establish a theoretical framework for the current study. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two consists of a comprehensive literature review that examines previous research on biogas production from food waste, anaerobic digestion processes, factors affecting biogas yield, and optimization strategies. The literature review identifies key variables that impact biogas production and provides a theoretical foundation for the research methodology. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology used in this study, including the experimental setup, sample collection and analysis, data collection methods, and statistical analysis techniques. The methodology aims to optimize biogas production by manipulating process parameters and evaluating their effects on biogas yield. Various experimental tests are conducted to determine the most efficient conditions for biogas production from food waste. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, including the effects of substrate composition, temperature, retention time, and pH on biogas production. The results are analyzed to identify optimal conditions for maximizing biogas yield and enhancing the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process. The discussion also addresses challenges encountered during the experiments and proposes potential solutions to improve biogas production efficiency. Chapter Five concludes the research by summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications of the results, and providing recommendations for future research in the field of biogas production from food waste. The study highlights the importance of optimizing biogas production processes to enhance energy recovery from organic waste while promoting sustainable waste management practices. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights into the potential of anaerobic digestion for biogas production and offers practical solutions for improving biogas yield from food waste.
