Abstract

Nitrogen-rich biomass can be suitable for utilization as a substrate in anaerobic co-digestion (AC-D) instead of animal manure. This biomass combined with other substrates could replace animal waste in certain cases in which animal waste cannot be used to obtain methane gas. Methane is the majority component of the biogas produced in AC-D used as an energy source. In this research, a comparative study has been developed between leguminous plant biomass and pig manure in AC-D in a semicontinuous regime at different Organic Load Rate (OLR) values (1.2–1.8 g VS L D −1 d −1 ). The most elevated methane yield (494 NL CH 4 kg VS −1 ) belongs to assays developed with nitrogen-rich biomass at 1.4 g VS L D −1 d −1 . Methane-yield results of nitrogen-rich biomass are higher than pig manure results for all OLR studied values. The digestate obtained in the AC-D is a fertilizer of interest due to its nitrogen content and ability to save energy by replacing mineral fertilizers.
