Besides that, non-renewable energy depletion caused awareness to the society on curbing the issue. Due to these current issues in Malaysia, biogas production from municipal waste was being introduced. The method to produce the biogas was anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a digestion process of organic wastes without the presence of oxygen. A lab scale anaerobic digester for batch mode was designed and built using mechanical parts. Methane production from municipal waste specifically food waste (fruit, grain and vegetable) was conducted for a period of two weeks respectively. The digestion was conducted by using temperature range of 27 °C to 36 °C and pH 6.5 to 7.5 to yield an optimum condition for the digestion process. The anaerobic condition was maintained by purging nitrogen gas into the digester for 20 minutes whereas the pH value was maintained by adding and mixing 50 ml of sodium hydroxide (N...
