Abstract

The limitation resources of fossil energy requires an exploration of another energy resources which could be renewable energy. One proper energy sources that considerable as the biogas is generated from solid waste. Anaerobic digester technology could be applied to process solid waste into renewable energy sources such as biogas, yet the widespread application of these technologies can solve the problem of environmental pollution which caused by waste piles. In this study, the anaerobic digester technology is applied to obtain biogas from organic solid waste using the leachate as a starter. By using 4 pieces of digesters, it takes cultivation process of sewage which carried out within an interval of 14 days between one digester to another one. The production of the gas is controlled every day, and the quality of the gas is measured in every 10 days. The result of the measurement for all digesters show that the production of the gas from the day 20th to the day 30th produce the good quality of the gas which contains methane gas for more than 40 %. Therefore, as the biogas production that fulfills the requirement as the fuel which takes time of 10 days, so in order to keep the continuation of the gas production it is advisable to take the cultivation process of sewage for each digester is 10 days
