Abstract

Conversion of food waste into methane has been very important way to cater the energy source crisis. The application of waste to energy technologies such as the production of biogas is considered to be one of the finest options that meet the increasing global demand for energy consumption. In this project, a food waste-biogas system converter was developed to observe the methane production using Buswell approach. The methodology used are customer surveillance, house of quality in defining customers’ needs, morphological chart in defining concepts and Pugh method for selection of best design. The methane volume was taken cumulatively everyday for 15 days. Results show that biogas volume keep increasing until day 15, which was 6.852 L. The highest decrement can be observed at biogas production of day 5 while the highest increment can be observed at day 10 where it was influenced by temperature and climate change.
