Abstract: VIDALLON, MARLON CUENO, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1995. "Utilization of Nata De Coco Wastes as Raw Material for Biogas Generation". Adviser: Eng'r. Jaime Q. Dilidili. The laboratory set-up for a typical biogas plant using nata de coco wastes as raw material was conducted at the School of Engineering of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine the gas yield and retention time as affected by the operating temperature and the waste-water ratio; to determine the methane content of the gas and to determine whether anaerobic fermentation of nata de coco waste is for methane generation or merely as a waste-treatment process. The result of the study showed that both factors, the operating temperature and the waste-water ratio had significant effect among treatments. In addition, Treatment 2 (2:1 waste to water ratio operated under ambient temperature) gave the best result as far as gas production is concerned. After the conduct of the study, it was found out that anaerobic fermentation of nata de coco waste can be used for energy generation even if the methane content of the gas is only 41%.
