    Every year, the total amount of solid waste generated in Peninsular Malaysia grew, according to the Malaysia government. The typical solid waste management system practiced in developing country brings many problems that can cause risks and hazards for living things and the environment in Malaysia if there are not managed properly. For example, illegal dumping cause groundwater and soil pollution. The methane gas produced from the landfill causes greenhouse effect. Food waste is categorized under household waste, where it is produced in residential areas, restaurants, cafeteria, markets and commercial areas. Therefore, anaerobic digestion process is introduced for organic waste with higher solids contents such as food waste as an alternative method. The effectiveness of anaerobic digestion process can be investigated through this process. In this study, two phase of anaerobic digesters was proposed. The reactor was operated at a temperature 35 °C, analyzed for biogas production, pH values and C/N ratio. The highest biogas production in this study is 50.4%. For a co-digestion containing more sludge can increase the pH value and biogas production.

    This research aims to improve the biogas production by employing cell immobilisation technique under thermophilic conditions. The thermophilic fermentative biogas production was carried out by immobilising the anaerobic sludge obtained from palm oil mill treatment plant on granular activated carbon (GAC) in repeated batch mode. Different concentration of magnesium ions (Mg2+) (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 g/l) on biogas production was investigated at 60°C with an initial sucrose concentration of 5 g/l as feedstock. The effect of Mg2+ supplementation at the initial stage of immobilisation process is important to increase the formation of biofilm in the attached growth system. This study had found that Mg2+ could enhance the biogas production capacity with optimum Mg2+ concentration of 0.75 g/l.
