  Fermentation of Potato Peels Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a Fermenting Yeast

  By Abdullahi, U. B, Ekperi, N. I., Ikenyiri P. N.

  Abstract: This research was basically on the investigation into the possibility of fermenting a potato peel using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a fermenting yeast which gave a very favourable result and found reliable and adoptable.

  Investigation into the Use of Anaerobic Co-digestion of Cow Dung for Biogas Production

  By Ekperi, N. I., Wechonwu, B. C., Joseph, P. O

  Abstract: The research is targeted on investigating the use anaerobic co-digestion of cow dung for biogas production, and to influence a decrease in the concentration of sulphide using direct inclusion of facultative lagoon sediment with sodium and calcium alginate. It was noted that 1 minute concentration of calcium alginate and sodium was introduced right from the beginning of the anaerobic digestion cycle shows the tendency to increase methane concentration and reduce …
