Discussion

Analysis evaluates energy potential of anaerobic co-digestion in agro-industrial waste, suggesting efficient methods for biogas production.

Anaerobic co-digestion effectively enhances biogas production in mixed substrates of ricotta cheese whey and cattle manure.
The reactor with 40% whey outperformed others, yielding 36 L more biogas than the one with 80% whey during the 106-day operation.
Reduction rates of total solids and biochemical oxygen demand were notable, reaching up to 78% in optimal conditions.
The findings indicate the viability of using 40% ricotta cheese whey for efficient biogas production, highlighting its potential in waste management.
