Adding oil and lipase on the anaerobic digestion of pig manure

The goal this paper was to verify the efficiency of the anaerobic co-digestion of manure with increasing levels of added oil disposal and lipase. Were tested four levels oil (8, 12, 16 and 20 g kg(-1) substrate) and 3 doses of lipase (1, 2, 3g(-1) kg of substrate). The parameters evaluated were: reduction of total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS) and most probable number (MPN) of total coliforms (TC) and thermophilic (TTC), in addition to pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), production and potential biogas production. The results demonstrated the influence of additions of oil and lipase to the reductions in SV and ST effluent pH, following a model of linear prediction and descending. The reductions in MPN of TC and TTC were higher in treatments with more adding oil and lipase. Biogas production showed a negative correlation with the additions of lipase, and these yielded linear effect on the potential of biogas/kg of manure, ST and SV added. The additions of oil and lipase did not provide favorable effects on biogas production.
