The biogas will be used to dry coffee beans and the fertilizer will be sold. Through this study it was proven that AD-CWS is feasibility. AD-CWS will not only eliminate coffee processing waste discharge into waterways, but it will also generate revenue through fertilizer and methane sales. At this time, further studies are needed to verify the biogas yield from coffee pulp at thermophilic temperatures (above 55°C) in order to properly forecast revenues. Enforcement of environmental laws in Mexico will result in fines to the coffee industry for discharging coffee waste into waterways, increasing coffee processing operating costs. AD-CWS can help the coffee industry comply with environmen¬tal regulations and avoid fines.</p> 2006-09-26 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1152557924 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1152557924 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
