Answer:
Anaerobic digestion is a sequence of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste or to produce fuels.
Purpose
Anaerobic digestion reduces the volume of the waste, produces methane for use, and provides a by-product that can be used as fertilizer. In addition to animal waste, plant waste from agriculture can be processed by anaerobic digestion.
Ideal temperature
Anaerobic digestion is strongly affected by temperature [8,9]. Optimum temperature of mesophilic digester for biogas production is 35°C. In the mesophilic range, the activity and growth rate of bacteria decrease by 50% for each 10°C drop.
