Abstract

This study was aimed to increase biogas generating from organic waste in the 120-liter fermenting barrel for household use by adding effective nutrients of molasses and glycerin. In the experiment, volumes of the organic waste were 1, 1.5 and 2 kilogram whereas the molasses and glycerin were added at 125, 250 and 500 grams respectively. The results revealed that the biogas volume from organic waste added with 500-gram molasses was averagely 1.17 and 1.46 times greater than those added with 250-gram and 125-gram molasses respectively. Likewise, the biogas volume from organic waste added with 500-gram glycerin was averagely 1.03 and 1.31 times greater than those added with 250-gram and 125-gram glycerin respectively.  In conclusion, the biogas volume depends on the nutrient added volume and external temperature. The economic feasibility of the barrel for biogas production from organic waste was analyzed using the payback period (PB). The analysis results show that the barrel for biogas production from organic waste is economically feasible payback period =1 year and 3 months.
