Abstract

Carbon based fuels such as propane and natural gas are acknowledgeable to be running in short supply. Depletion of energy and power resources for future generation becomes the world favourite topic recently. Effects of the gaseous release of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere on the degradation of the ozone layer and consequential health effects and global warming has been concerns to the nation recently. Livestock such as chicken, dairy animals is agreeable to be one of the biggest producers of gas, particularly in methane as they are constantly produces waste that is in manure form. Chicken manure disposal managements are a relevant issue in many countries of Asia due to the constantly increasing demand for chicken products. This study is to investigate the methane producing efficiency of anaerobic co – digestion influenced by different chicken manure with decanter cake mixing ratios. Samples of mixtures of chicken manure and decanter cake with different mixing ratio are assembled and its methane efficiency is measured by Gas Chromatography. Mixing up chicken manure and decanter cake has the potential on increasing the methane efficiency. With different mixing ratio tested, the best mixing ratio is found at ratio of (100:0) as the methane efficiency is the highest at 1.998% and it is comparable to others ratios.
