ABSTRACT

Batch experiments with fruit and vegetable waste and sludge from biogas plant as the feedstock were conducted in this study. Mathematical models are introduced here to explain the anaerobic processes, and some unknown parameters were determined by solving inverse problems numerically. Numerical results were compared with the experimental outcomes. We conclude that the results only show for situation where there is no inhibition by intermediate compounds such as volatile fatty acids.
