Anaerobic digestion was potentially viewed as attractive method for waste stabilization prior to landfills as pre-treatment to reduce significant pollution load to the environment. Optimizing anaerobic digestion process, aim to maximize organic waste conversion to biogas at short digestion period. This paper presents the combined process of anaerobic digestion in solid state batch system which involves enhanced pre-stage (hydrolysis and acidification) and methane phase. Early flushing with microaeration was found to optimize the overall pre-stage performance with hydrolysis yield of 129 g C/kg TS and acidification yield of 193 g VFA/kg TS. A reduced substrate particle size of 30 mm showed an optimized biogas production at short digestion period when compared to 60 mm particle size. Moreover, the importance of thermophilic condition in digestion process further enhanced the operation. A methane yield of 320 L CH4/kg VS was obtained by thermophilic pilot scale digester and compared with lab-scale biochemical methane potential test (BMP) of 400 L CH4/kg VS corresponds to a process efficiency of 80%. Nevertheless, significant waste stabilization with mass and volume reduction of 74% and 58% was obtained respectively, with VS reduction of 71%. This study highlights the importance of optimum pre-stage flushing with microaeration, reduced substrate particle size of 30 mm, and thermophilic condition in optimizing the process.
