          Abstract

          In Colombia the agro-industrial process of fique generates approximately 20 800 kg of waste / ha planted, consisting of bagasse and juice. These wastes are discarded over soil and water generating a problem of environmental pollution. The fique bagasse (FB) has a calorific value of 3 297.91 kcal / kg, high concentrations of cellulose, hemicellulose and C / N ratio that make it appropriate for biogas production. However, the presence of lignin in the FB requires specific microbial consortia for its degradation. Therefore, in this research the biogas production from FB on a laboratory scale was studied through the Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process using a consortium of ruminal fluid (RF) and pig manure (PM). A methane production of 0.35 m³ CH4/kg volatile solids (VS) added during two weeks, equivalent to 1.38 kWh/kg VS added, indicated that FB is an attractive residual to be used as a source of renewable energy.

          En Colombia, el procesamiento agroindustrial de fique genera aproximadamente 20 800 kg de residuos/ha sembrada que corresponden a. jugo y bagazo. Estos residuos son descartados al ambiente generando problemas de contaminación. El bagazo de fique tiene un valor calorífico de 3 297.91 kcal/kg, altas concentraciones de celulosa, hemicelulosa y una relación C/N favorable para tratar este residuo mediante conversión anaerobia. Sin embargo, la presencia de lignina en el bagazo hace que se requiera un consorcio microbiano específico para llevar a cabo la degradación. En este trabajo se estudio la producción de biogás a partir del bagazo de fique, empleando como inóculo una mezcla de líquido ruminal y lodo estiércol de cerdo. Se alcanzó una producción de metano de 0.35 m³CH4/kg Sólidos Volátiles (SV) adicionados durante quince días de digestión, equivalente a 1.38 kWh/kg SV adicionado, indicando que el bagazo de fique es un residuo atractivo para ser usado como fuente de energía renovable.
