Abstract

values of 409.82 ml and 178.95 ml/g VS respectively, obtained for optimum load values of 2.17 g VS/L and HRT of 15 h. The results emphasize the environmental and economic significance of AD, providing a sustainable waste management solution that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and organic pollution. Additionally, it generates valuable biogas and biofertilizers, presenting economic opportunities through renewable energy production and resource recovery. This approach not only alleviates the environmental burden of vinasse but also enhances the economic viability of ethanol production by creating additional revenue streams.
