hi !

I have been given project on anaerobic digestion of starch industry effluent.

Which parameters should be checked before initiating the project?

 

I want to know that what is loading capacity? How it can be measured?

How it can help us to make the anaerobic treatment plant?

Is there any method to find The amount of Methane Generation Capacity of waste water?

please help me out to solve this problem.

Thanks.

since this is homework help, I'm not just gonna give you the answers... but I'll guide you a bit:

 

You need to calculate the "chemical oxygen demand" or simply COD (google will help you). The value you need to have is the COD per liter (or per m3).

Alternatively, you may be able to work with the biological oxygen demand (which is much harder to calculate)...

 

Then search for somethint that links the methane production to the COD value.

 

Finally, the type of digester depends on the COD (again) and the viscosity of the liquid, solid or slurry.

 

For bonus points, you can search for "inhibitors", which are chemicals or elements that will slow down (or even kill) the microorganisms in the digester.
