Abstract
⺠Biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were conducted using two wastes. ⺠Effect of inoculum pre-incubation and inoculum sources on BMP test was evaluated. ⺠No significant differences in the BMP results between pre or non-incubated inoculum. ⺠Inoculum source and waste to inoculum ratio play a significant role in test results. ⺠Seed source for a waste treatability underestimates the ultimate biodegradability.
