Publisher: [Iloilo City] : [Ateneo de Iloilo], c2023Description: 57 p.Subject(s): Biogas | Digester gas--Chickens--ManureDDC classification: Ref 373.07 Ex715 2023 Summary: The global energy crisis remains to be one of the top problems of the Philippines, especially those in rural areas who suffer the most from the unequal distribution of energy, and its increasing prices. Animal manure is a readily available, eco-friendly, and low-cost material capable of producing biogas, which is a possible solution to this issue. Local and affordable materials can be used to construct a biodigester as a vessel for anaerobic digestion, one of the most cost-effective and sustainable biomass conversion technologies. This study examined chicken manure as an alternative and renewable source of energy. Various weights (20kg, 30kg, and 40kg) of chicken manure were investigated to test its efficiency as a source of biogas and compared to the commonly used Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Two group posttest-only randomized design was utilized. The study tested biogas production from four biodigesters in three trials over six weeks. It was found that biogas production was dependent on the size and capacity of the biodigester, and the amount of chicken manure inputted. Several recommendations were made to maximize the biogas production rate to yield better results from the experiment.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
