Abstract
Increase in the demand for fruit has led to more wastes to contend with. The build-up of this waste typically signifies an economic and environmental nuisance owing to disposal problems. This study focuses on assessing biogas generation potential of mixed-fruit solid waste comingled with cow dung for biogas production. Fruit wastes consisting of pineapple peels, watermelon peels, banana peels, and orange peels were used for the experiment. Comparison between the mixture of pineapple peels, banana peels, and cow dung with the mixture of watermelon peels, banana peels, and cow dung was carried out in an experiment by anaerobic digestion at a laboratory scale. Tyre tube storage method was used to measure the amount of the biogas yield. The result from the experiment indicated that pineapple peels, banana peels, and cow dung produced more yield of biogas of (1.4 kg) than that of watermelon peels
