Small doses of caustic soda increase biogas production from banana waste

Per Phys.org, low concentrations of caustic soda prove more efficient than high doses for preparing organic waste for biogas production. Phys.org reports that this method boosts methane output, reduces reagent consumption and cuts costs while minimizing the risk of inhibiting the microorganisms responsible for the process. Overall, the finding lowers costs and minimizes the risk of inhibiting the microorganisms responsible for the process, Phys.org notes.
