title = "Analysis of the physicochemical process in the production of biogas from equine manure",
abstract = ". The present research aims to evaluate the physicochemical variables involved in the
anaerobic digestion process to produce methane from manure on an agricultural farm; the farm
has 2 equines that generate 12 Kg of manure per day. A manure sample was collected, and the
following physicochemical parameters were determined: total solids, volatile solids, chemical
oxygen demand, and pH. A tubular household biodigester was then implemented, consisting
mainly of a polyethylene geomembrane that stores the organic matter and in which anaerobic
digestion takes place. The performance of the biodigester was determined by the removal of
organic matter quantified by volatile solids and chemical oxygen demand in the biodigester
influent and digestate, of which removal of 82% of volatile solids and 74% of chemical oxygen
demand was achieved. The average biogas production was 0.5 m3
/day, and its lower heating
value was 26,000 kJ/m3
. The pH level of the biodigester was within the range of 6-7, in order to
keep the methanogenic bacteria active, in charge of carrying out physicochemical process that
guarantees anaerobic digestion and thus, the production of biogas.",
