Methane forming bacteria complete the digestion to a
maximum 70%CH4 and minimum 30%CO2 with trace
amounts of H2 and perhaps H2S
( about 14 -20 days at 25 0C)
Question example:
During anaerobic digestion, glucose is
transformed into methane through a
series of steps. The overall reaction is
(CH2O)6 3CH4 + 3CO2.
Calculate the percentage of methane
produced.
ANSWER:
Percentage >>> original is 100%
MW : 180

(100/180)x3x44
CH4 = 27 %
CO2 = 73%
For every 100 kg of glucose, it will produce 27 kg of CH 4 and 73 kg

Example -1
By using the table given, calculate the volume of a biogas
digester suitable for the output of 6000 pigs, assuming a
retention time of 20 days.
