| Title: | Spent mushroom compost (SMC) as a source for biogas production in Iran | Authors: | Najafi, B Faizollahzadeh, Ardabili, S Shamshirband, S Chau, KW |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Engineering applications of computational fluid mechanics, 2019, v. 13, no. 1, p. 967-982 | Abstract: | The first aim of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of the biogas production potential from Spent Mushroom Compost. Hence, its secondary aim is to study the replacement of this energy with the fossil energy source and its impact on the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. The production potential of biogas was evaluated in a laboratory-scale Open Outlet Flow Batch Type Anaerobic digester. Setups of biogas production were set at temperatures of 35°C and 55°C. Results indicate that the cumulative production of biogas at 55°C was more than that at 35°C (364.8 and 314.11 L/kg.VS, respectively). The energy required for 1 ton of spent mushroom compost in one period of production was 204.24–5.35T kW.h/ton. The amount of energy produced in a period of biogas production was calculated to be 277.95 kW.h/ton at 35°C and 322.84 kW.h/ton at 55°C. Results show that the total produced spent mushroom compost of the country is equal to 414,491.7 tons per year. Accordingly, the potential of methane production was calculated to be 8690.8 × 103 m3 per year. It can also reduce 0.02% of the total annual production of CO2 in Iran. | Keywords: | Biogas Biomass resources Compost Methane Mushroom Sustainable energy |
