Abstract
The anaerobic digestion of Chlorella vulgaris was studied using batch digesters. Standard analysis of chemical oxygen demand (COD), solids, pH, acidity, alkalinity and chlorophyll were done. Biogas composition and production were also determined. The conversion of biomass to biog as ranged from 70-90% in COD. This implies that C. vulgaris could cons titute a valuable method of bioconversion of sun energy to biogas.
