“…There was also a positive correlation (r = 0.47-0.79) between biodegradability and the actual methane yield, and all the p-values (<0.05) indicated a significant correlation. These results indicate that biodegradability has a significant effect on methane yield [17]. In addition, there was a very strong correlation between biodegradability and the actual methane yield, which showed an r value of 0.88-1.00, which indicates that biodegradability has a substantial effect on the actual methane yield.…”

“…The biodegradability of organic waste refers to the degree of biodegradable organic components in the substrates, which show significant differences according to physicochemical properties [16]. The degree of biodegradation is an essential factor for the design and operation of AD reactors; therefore, a clear understanding of the biodegradation characteristics of the substrates is required [17]. The biodegradability of particulate organic matter can be determined by measuring the ratio of biodegradable volatile solids (BVS) to total volatile solids (TVS) in the substrates [18].…”

This study determined the optimal mixing ratio of food waste and livestock manure for efficient co-digestion of sewage sludge by applying the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test, Design Expert software, and continuous reactor operation. The BMP test of sewage sludge revealed a maximum methane yield of 334 mL CH4/g volatile solids (VS) at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 4 kg VS/(m3·d). For food waste, the maximum methane yield was 573 mL CH4/g VS at an OLR of 6 kg VS/(m3·d). Livestock manure showed the lowest methane yield. The BMP tests with various mixing ratios confirmed that a higher mixing ratio of food waste resulted in a higher methane yield, which showed improved biodegradability and an improved VS removal rate. The optimal mixing ratio of 2:1:1 for sewage sludge, food waste, and livestock manure was determined using Design Expert 10. Using continuous co-digestion reactor operation under an optimal mixing ratio, greater organic matter removal and methane yield was possible. The process stability of co-digestion of optimally mixed substrate was improved compared with that of operations with each substrate alone. Therefore, co-digestion could properly maintain the balance of each stage of anaerobic digestion reactions by complementing the characteristics of each substrate under a higher OLR.

“…Compared with the current study, the production of biogas using EFB and mushrooms was lower than using POME and EFB by 0.9-fold. A later study by Mamimin et al (2021) showed significant findings for straw mushroom cultivation as an improvement over empty fruit bunches in terms of biodegradability and biogas production. In summary, EFB shows potential in biogas production when mixed with POME.…”

The Malaysian palm oil industry has grown rapidly due to Malaysia’s tropical weather and suitable terrain. Palm oil production is now categorized as the most significant agriculture-based industry in the country. Along with strong economic returns, the palm oil industry also generates an abundance of waste products, including empty fruit bunches (EFB) (23%), mesocarp fibre (12%), shells (5%) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) (60%) for every batch of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed in the mills. This study is meant to fill the gap from previous studies in terms of biogas productions from the POME or the combination of POME and EFB which normally been conducted under the thermophilic conditions. The appropriate mixture ratios between POME and EFB in anaerobic digestion will reduce time of treatment and space if been conducted in the low temperature (mesophilic conditions). Thus, this paper is focuses on the analysis of batch test design which consist of low temperature (mesophilic, 20-40 °C) conditions for evaluating the performance of biogas production from the combination of POME and EFB in anaerobic digestion. The aim was to determine the amount of biogas production based on different ratios of POME and EFB mixtures. Biogas 1, containing 160 mL of fresh POME mixed with 40 g of EFB, was shredded and blended with 1800 mL seed sludge. Biogas 2, containing 120 mL of fresh POME mixed with 80 g of EFB, was shredded and blended with 1800 mL seed sludge. Based on the analysis of the results, the total production of Biogas 1 was greater than that of Biogas 2. The findings also show that the ratio of POME and 20% EFB (Biogas 1) was more efficient in producing the biogas compared to the ratio POME and 40% EFB (Biogas 2) under the mesophilic conditions. Thus, the mesophilic conditions required energy saving and low-cost process, compared to the previous studies which used the high temperature (thermophilic, 41-122 °C) that definitely was costly and require more energy consumption. This study will serve as preliminary results for enhancing the treatment methods use in Malaysia and form the early basis for the development of a new technology incorporating a combination of POME and EFB.

“…The C/N ratio required for primordial growth of oyster fruiting bodies ranges from 21-30 while, for mycelium growth the C/N ratio of more than 30 is required, and the C/N ratio below 20 is needed for the growth of fruiting body (Yang et al, 2013). Meanwhile, EFB only contains carbon as much as 46%, 0.85% total nitrogen, and the C/N ratio value of 54% (Mamimin et al, 2021). The addition of sawdust to the media has been shown to accelerate the growth of fruiting bodies.…”

“…Mushroom need carbon source which was obtained from EFB (lignin and cellulose), calcium source from CaCO 3 , and a small amount of nutrients, such as N, P and S from brans (Rambey et al, 2020). EFB contains 26.49% lignin, 32.57% cellulose, and 27.7% hemicellulose (Mamimin et al, 2021). Sawdust and EFB contain a limited amount of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphor, sulfur, and others.…”

Indonesia produces a large amount of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) that has potency used as media for mushroom cultivation. The research emphasized the use of EFB to grow oyster mushrooms as an alternative for delignification without chemicals. This research aimed to study the growth of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) at EFB based growing media treatments. The media consisted of a mixture of EFB and sawdust at the composition of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The media were also supplemented with rice bran, CaCO3, and TSP fertilizer. The data were collected on the mycelium growth and the mushroom weight. During cultivation in baglog, there was no difference in mycelium growth rate. The EFB composition of 25% showed faster growth among the other compositions, followed by the EFB composition of 50%, 75%, and 0%. The highest Biological Efficiency Ratio (BER) at 56.25% was obtained at media composition of 50%. The EFB contained in baglog also showed biodelignification process. Biodelignification has the benefit which can reduce the use of chemicals in the delignification process to convert EFB into cellulose. The highest lignin reduction (40.12%) occurred in 75% of EFB media composition, while hemicellulose (49.56%) occurred in 100% EFB media composition.
