Abstract

The main objective in this study was to promote waste utilization to clean energy for both our various home uses, institutions and the society at large precisely Municipal Owerri IMO STATE.  Municipal waste management system within Municipal Owerri has been developed since 2019. All Central Municipal waste has been segregated and data collection. According to the data information, food waste has been produced within Municipal Central Area with average of 77,015 kg/year or 211 kg/day. From food waste to Energy concept has been concerned. The high potential to utilize food waste for biogas production by using System of Integrated Bioreactors Configuration Rig Anaerobic Digester pilot plant proved that Biogas can be effectively generated. The biogas pilot plant capacity for food waste loading 211 + 74 kg/day incorporation of appropriate Mixing and Flow Features in Bioreactor Design provided leading to high yield in Biogas Production the basis of effective digestion of Food waste. Data collection has been done with average biogas production was 18- 27 m3/day. The food waste utilization to clean energy as biogas within Municipal Owerri IMO STATE can be empowered and promoted along with waste reduction and waste utilization if Government adopts it for their usage or our Institutions etc. Biogas production from food waste has been shown as a demonstration site for clean energy production and help to protect the public environment and save money for any investor’s incorporation.
