  Abstract: This study investigates the optimization of biogas and biofertilizer production from cow dung and fruit waste through anaerobic digestion, utilizing various microbial growth kinetic models. Simulations were conducted using the Monod, Moser, Contois, and Tessier models to predict biogas yield and assess model accuracy. Results indicated that the Tessier model provided the closest fit to experimental data, with a biogas yield of 0.45 m³/kg VS, while the Monod model overestimated …
