ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION OF KITCHEN WASTE AND SEWAGE SLUDGE FOR PRODUCING BIOGAS
In this paper, an attempt has been made to present the result of some experiments conducted on anaerobic digesters to make comparative study of the biogas generation capacity of the mixture of organic fractions of municipal solid waste from kitchen waste and sewage sludge in different composition.
