Experimental Investigation of the Production of Carbon(iv)oxide (CO 2 ) from Brewers Spent Grain using Anaerobic Digester
Abstract: In this study, fresh brewers spent grain from a Brewery in Port Harcourt, was used to generate biogas, and the rate of carbon dioxide production was examined as a fractional component of the biogas. Additionally, daily records of the anaerobic digestion process temperature and pressure buildup were recorded. The analysis result revealed that the pH values before and after the examination were 7.45 and 7.26, respectively, and that the temperature …

GLOBAL WARMING AND ITS PREVENTION THROUGH BIOGAS
Abstract: The impact of global warming has drastically affected the ecosystem and also the life on earth. The main causes of global warming are the pollutant gases which are released into the atmosphere by different sources. The major one being the automobile industries followed by different wastes that are generated on a daily basis. So the gases released during the combustion or burning of wastes are responsible for global warming. The …

A Study on the Future of Industrial WastewaterTreatment Plant: Trends and Innovations
Abstract: Industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWWTPs) stand at the critical intersection of economic productivity and environmental sustainability. Unlike municipal sources, industrial effluent is characterized by extreme heterogeneity, containing highly variable concentrations of toxic heavy metals, recalcitrant organic compounds, suspended solids, and emerging contaminants. This complexity necessitates bespoke, multistage treatment trains, often combining physical, chemical, and advanced biological methods (e.g., membrane bioreactors, electrochemical oxidation, and anaerobic digestion). This analysis examines the contemporary …

Bioremediation of Domestic Waste Water by Selected Aqua Plants
Abstract: Around 30 percent of the service costs of predictable centralized wastewater treatment requires energy to operate the machines for pumping and ventilation. In comparatison, constructed marshlands involving photosynthetic plants and other organisms have a lower energy requirement. The aim of the present work is to select aquatic plants which have a high efficiency of removing pollution from wastewater. Four plants were selected out of the available plants growing in nearby …

Farm-Scale Biogas Generation and Upgradation as Transportation Fuel
Abstract: Biogas from the bio degradable biomass like slurry, agricultural wastes, and kitchen wastes mainly consists of the methane, carbon di oxide and the trace amount of sulfur and hydrogen. Methane has a higher calorific value to be used as a transportation fuel and the residual waste after decomposition of biomass can be effectively used as fertilizer. However, the presence of other constituents along with methane significantly hinders the in cylinder …
