In the biogas laboratory of the Ukrainian National Forestry University the efficiency of the anaerobic mesophilic digestion of chicken manure of Poltava poultry farm, Kamianets-Podilsky poultry farm and sewage sludge from Lviv wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated. Different integral indicators of the biogas production and significantly different dynamics of its formation over time were obtained for three investigated substrates. The value of average specific biogas production from the sewage sludge of Lviv WWTP is 0.494 dm3∙(day∙kg FM)–1, which is 5.1 times more comparing the chicken manure of Kamianets-Podilsky poultry farm and 8.0 times more than for the chicken manure of Poltava poultry farm. Strong negative effect of antibiotic treatment of chickens on methane contentin the obtained biogas was established experimentally.}, type={Article}, title={Facilities and problems of processing organic wastes by family-type biogas plants in Ukraine}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/116640/PDF/Voytovych%20et%20al%20512.pdf}, doi={10.24425/jwld.2020.133493}, keywords={anaerobic digestion, biogas plant, bioreactor, organic wastes, renewable energy}, }
