Biogas Production from Benincasa Hispida Waste

Biogas is the mixture of gaseous that generated from the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It consists of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and traces level of other gases. Agricultural wastes where available abundantly in Malaysia serve as one of the potential carbon sources...
