Renewable Energy, 1993, vol. 3, issue 1, 45-47

Abstract: Cowdung, human excreta, distillery effluents etc. are used for biogas generation in India. The addition of various boron compounds at different concentrations was made to study its effect on the cumulative gas production rate. A retention time of 15 days in a small batch digester was used. Additions of borax, boron hydride, boric and borozol were made at appropriate levels. The addition of such compounds affected the methanogenesis and increased gas generation.
