Increasing the Production of Electrical and Thermal Energy in Biogas Plants through the Optimal Addition of Agricultural Waste by Polishchuk V.М., Shvorov S.А., Pasichnik N.A., Davidenko T.S., Valiev Т.О., Dvornyk Ye.O.

“…The aim of the work is to increase the yield of biogas, and, accordingly, the generation of electrical and thermal energy in biogas plants by optimally adding agricultural production waste to cattle manure. To achieve the goals set, the following tasks were solved: the yield of biogas from cattle manure was determined with the addition of various volumes of organic waste during periodic loading of the digester; on the basis of the experimental data obtained, the unimodality interval was found for the maximum yield of biogas during the fermentation of cattle pus with the addition of organic waste; Using the dichotomy method, the optimal dosage volume of various types of organic wastes into the substrate for quasi-continuous loading of the digester was calculated. …”
