Abstract
In this research work, a blend of cassava peel and water hyacinth were co-digested to generate energy through biogas production. A 0.030 m3 anaerobic digester was used to digest 55 kg of the blend of cassava peel and water hyacinth. The ratio of mixture of cassava peel to water hyacinth was 3:1. The mixture was properly ground, mixed and charged into the mild steel digester under mesophilic slurry temperature range of 32 oC to 37 oC. The results obtained showed that a minimum pressure reading of 148.438 kPa and a maximum pressure reading of 170.659 kPa were obtained. This suggests sufficient microbial activities in the digester, thus, good biogas production. The analysis of biogas yields showed that an average of 0.005148 m3 of biogas was generated and this gives an average of 0.0121 kWh of electricity.
