Abstract: This paper describes the improvement of anaerobic digestion process due to the addition of various surfactants and adsorbents in different combinations. Among the different combinations tested mixture of silica gel (2000 mg litre –1 ) and sodium lauryl sulphate (300 mg litre –1 ) showed maximum enhancement in gas production as well as methane content indicating better process performance.
