Fatty Acid Myristic Palmitic A waste, predominantly composed of triglycerides, is transported to an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant for the production of biogas. The waste contains corn oil plus 2.77 wt % of particulate impurities. At the plant, for every 10 kg of the waste that is passed through a filter into the digester, 1 kg of horse manure is added (it may be assumed that all the particulate impurities are retained by the filter and the filter retains none of the triglyceride). The fatty acid composition of corn oil is given in Table 1 and the ultimate analysis of the horse manure is given in Table 2. Table 1.
