DETERMINATION OF BIOGAS VALUES FOR TOMATO WASTES USING HOHENHEIM BATCH TEST METHOD

Abstract

Nowadays, biogas technology applications are gradually increasing worldwide due to the economic and environmental benefits. Many researches and studies related to the determination of the biogas potential of waste organic materials have been carried out in the recent years. Studies to determine the specific methane potential of organic waste materials have a great importance for both design and economical operation of the biogas plants.Energy potential that will be recovered from organic wastes are substantial in our country.Thanks to biogas plants gathering vegetable-fruit wastes and other organic wastes are planned to produce significant amount of renewable energy in our country markets. Owing to the use of organic wastes, the disposal of waste as well as energy production, soil, water, air pollution in terms of environmental protection are also minimized. On the other hand, the organic wastes produced from plants can also be utilised as fertilizer in vegetable production. In this study, the cumulative biogas and methane productions of tomato wastes were experimentally determined with HBT (Hohenheim Batch Testing) method. Biogas and methane yields of tomato wastes were found as 0.687-0.695 Nm3/kg OKM and 0.364-0.374 Nm3/kg OKM respectively. Obtained results for biogas production has importance.
