Investigation and evaluation of methane production from buffalo chaff and corn Chaff combination in Khuzestan province

Agricultural and livestock residues can be used to produce clean fuels such as biogas. An anaerobic digestion process is one of the accepted technologies, both in terms of industry and economics, for the production of energy from organic waste. Khuzestan province has a significant potential for methane production with its 2500 head of buffalo and large corn farms. For this purpose, an investigation was carried out to investigate the process of producing methane from the combination of corn Chaff and buffalo salad with four levels and three replications (t1=10:90), (t2=20:80), (t3=90:1 (t4=80:20) Anaerobic digestion using 1.5 lit bottles as digestion) and a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design at Animal Husbandry Station of Khuzestan Agricultural and Natural Resources University These compounds were evaluated based on the weight of dry matter escaping at 10% at a temperature between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius, called the mesophilic temperature. At the end of the study, which included a twenty-eight-day period, the Results showed that the highest methane produced in the combination was 20:80, 30.83 lit and the lowest methane produced in the combination of 90:10 to 13.04 lit. Results showed that there was a significant statistical difference between treatments has it.
