Este estudio evalúa el rendimiento de un biodigestor tubular operando en condiciones psicrófilas, incorporando lianas vegetales como soporte de biopelículas para mejorar la digestión anaerobia de estiércol bovino. Se construyó un sistema de biodigestión de 12 m³ en Chachapoyas, Perú, y se cargó con una mezcla estiércol:agua (1:5). Se monitorearon parámetros fisicoquímicos, producción y calidad del biogás, aplicando el modelo de Gompertz para describir su comportamiento cinético. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de operar a temperaturas promedio de 16.95 °C, el sistema alcanzó su tiempo de retención hidráulica (TRH) en solo 15 días, generando 3 m³ de biogás con una producción diaria de 0.2–0.3 m³. La purificación redujo el H2S en 75 % y el metano purificado alcanzó 68.18 %, validando su uso energético doméstico. El modelo de Gompertz ajustó adecuadamente los datos (R² = 0.9992), proyectando una producción potencial de 3.89 m³. El uso de biopelículas vegetales demostró mejorar la retención microbiana y estabilidad del proceso, proponiendo una solución de bajo costo y replicabilidad en zonas rurales frías.
