title: Biochemical methane potential of vegetable wastes.
abstract: Anaerobic digestion of vegetable waste slurry carried out in the laboratory using 2.5L capacity bottle reactors for 60 days at ambient temperature conditions resulted in a biogas yield of 0.391 L/g of VS fed. The methane content of the biogas generated from the reactors was in the range of 67%-70%. The biochemical methane potential obtained from the laboratory was 0.269 L CH4/g VS added.
