Studies on the influence of different feeds for the optimisation of bio hydrogen reactor

Abstract

The main focus of this experimental investigation is to study the influence of various wastewater as substrates in the production of biohydrogen in suspended growth periodically operated reactors. Two types of chemical wastewater along with designed synthetic feed were used in the process of investigation. The reactor was operated with the optimized conditions established from earlier studies in the BEEC laboratory. The study compares the results obtained in hydrogen production from synthetic and complex feeds undergoing acidogenic reaction in the stirred tank reactor. The objective of the experiment is to optimize the ideal co-substrate on the production of Biohydrogen through Anaerobic Fermentation of Bulk drug effluent.
