The production process of oil from Elaeis guineensis palm produces an organic residual. Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are one of the main waste products, representing 7%. Up to now, OPEFB aren't totally used, being an environmental problem. In this paper, the employment of OPEFB pretreated with NaOH is studied as a raw material for biogas production. The pretreatment time (PT) of the OPEFB influences directly on biogas production achieving conversions of volatile solids to biogas of 96% for PT=60 min and 29 days of reaction. Biogas production is adjusted to a first order kinetic law, with kinetic constants for the generation of CH4 (0,108 d-1) and CO2 (0,107 d-1) at the reactor operating temperature (55°C). Finally, a general model is obtained to estimate volatile solids conversion to biogas as a function of pretreatment time and of the residence time inside the reactor.
La producción de aceite de la palma Elaeis guineensis aporta residuales orgánicos como los racimos sin frutos (RSF) que representan un 7%. Actualmente los RSF no se aprovechan en su totalidad constituyendo un problema medioambiental. Se estudia el empleo de RSF pretratados con NaOH para la producción de biogás. El tiempo de pretratamiento (TP) de los RSF influye directamente sobre la cantidad de biogás producida logrando conversiones de sólidos volátiles a biogás de 96%, para TP = 60 min y 29 días de reacción. La producción de biogás se ajusta a una ley cinética de orden 1 obteniéndose las constantes cinéticas de la generación de CH4 (0,108 d-1) y CO2 (0,107 d-1) a la temperatura de operación del reactor (55°C). Se presenta un modelo generalizador que permite estimar la conversión de sólidos volátiles a biogás en función del tiempo de pretratamiento y del tiempo de permanencia en el reactor.
