Project Description: Our project focuses on the efficient production of bio-hydrogen gas through dark fermentation, using sewage sludge and food waste as feedstock. We the team of 4 aim to fine-tune the process by investigating various temperature and pH conditions for maximum biohydrogen gas yield. Objectives: 1. Resource Utilization: Harness energy from sewage sludge and food waste to address waste management and sustainable energy generation. 2. Process Optimization: Identify the best temperature and pH conditions for maximizing biohydrogen gas production. 3. Microbial Selection: Choose the most efficient microorganisms for converting organic matter into biohydrogen gas. Methodology: Characterize sewage sludge and food waste, then optimize dark fermentation with selected bacteria under varying temperature and pH conditions. Expected Outcomes: 1. Increased Biohydrogen Yield: Expect higher biohydrogen gas production from waste materials. 2. Efficiency and Sustainability: Enhance the efficiency and sustainability of biohydrogen production. 3. Waste-to-Energy: Convert waste into a valuable energy resource. Significance: Our project contributes to clean energy and waste management by optimizing bio-hydrogen production from organic waste. It aligns with a sustainable and greener future.
