Abstract
The study based on the possibilities of anaerobic digestion of textile
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) sludge in mesophilic (32˚-35˚C) condition. A
20 L transparent pot was used as the lab scale digestion chamber. For the
fast generation of anaerobic microorganisms cow dung was used with ETP
sludge in different percentages in different stages. The duration of the
study was 60 days. The study reveals comparative representation of gas
production and gas pressure for different ratio of Cow dung and ETP sludge.
The gas produced in this lab scale plant was tested and the percentage of
methane was 65.2% which is satisfactory. The positive outcome of this
thesis paper reveals that the hazardous ETP sludge can be used in
renewable natural gas production.
