Abstract
Nowadays, many countries suffer economic, social, and environmental problems due to the lack of proper final disposal systems for different types of residues, like municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural waste (AG), and waste cooking oil (WCO). In this context, the controlled degradation of wastes through anaerobic digestion (AD) in the absence of oxygen with the help of different groups of bacteria offers a sustainable solution for otherwise unusable waste. The main objective of this study was to develop artisanal anaerobic biodigesters and water displacement gasometers, to measure the influence of waste cooking oil as co-substrate for the anaerobic co-digestion with four different types of waste: cow, pig, chicken, and food from restaurants. As demonstrated, waste cooking oil ameliorated the values of 75% of the types of garbage. This study also indicated that the biogas production was comparatively higher in the co-digested bottles than in the mono-digested bottles.
