Produksi biogas pada skala rumah tangga umumnya menggunakan teknologi fermentasi anaerobik di dalam satu biodigester (satu tahap), yang mengakomodasi dua tahap utama prinsip pembentukan biogas, yakni tahap asetogenesis dan tahap metanogenesis. Permasalahan yang muncul dari penggunaan digester biogas satu tahap adalah ketidakseimbangan proses fermentasi (peningkatan laju beban organik, waktu retensi senyawa organik yang lebih cepat, dan produktivitas biogas yang menjadi tidak maksimal). Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan melakukan produksi biogas melalui sistem fermentasi anaerobik dua-tahap (two-stage anaerobic digestion), yang didukung dengan pengaturan pH pada proses metanogenik. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan proses aklimatisasi (aktivasi) bakteri yang menunjang proses asetogenik dan metanogenik pada skala laboratorium (19 L), dan selanjutnya menjadi inokulum untuk proses fermentasi skala pilot dengan kapasitas biodigester asetogenik 125 L dan metanogenik 500 L. Hasil proses aklimatisasi bakteri asetogenik pada media kotoran sapi menunjukkan adanya kestabilan pH yang dibutuhkan untuk reaksi asetogenik, yaitu pada kisaran pH 5-6, sedangkan kontrol menunjukkan perubahan pH yang masih ada di rentang pH netral yaitu 6-7. Kotoran sapi yang telah melalui proses asetogenik selama 2 minggu (pH awal 5,5), menjadi bahan baku pembuatan biogas pada digester metanogenik. Hasil dari proses metanogenik menunjukkan terjadinya peningkatan volume biogas dan komposisi gas metana (CH4) di dalam biogas. Komposisi CH4 tertinggi diperoleh pada hari ke-20 yakni 74,82% dengan volume produksi biogas tertinggi ada pada hari ke-22, dengan laju 8,87 L/hari. Potensi energi tertinggi yang diperoleh mencapai 217,66 kJ/hari.Generally, biogas production on the household scale is using one-stage anaerobic fermentation technology, which accommodates two main processes of biogas production, namely acetogenesis and methanogenesis. An obstacle of using one-stage biogas digester is the imbalance of the fermentation process that indicated by the increase of organic load rate and shorter retention time that lead to un-optimal biogas productivity. This research undertook the application of two-stage anaerobic digestion, supported by adjusting the initial pH for both acetogenic and methanogenic processes. Firstly, the research initiated by acclimatization (activation) process of acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria via fermentation in laboratory scale (19 L) digesters, separately. The results of acetogenic bacteria acclimatization process on cow dung media showed the pH stability needed for the reaction acetogenic, in the range of 5-6, while the control showed the pH changes still in the neutral pH range (6-7). The substrate from lab-scale acetogenic and methanogenic digester, then used as a starter for pilot-scale digester (125 L and 500 L, respectively). The mixture of water and cow dung were adjusted at initial pH 5.5 on acetogenic digester for 2 weeks. Those material were used for biogas production in the methanogenic digester. The result of the methanogenic process showed an increasing volume of biogas and the composition of methane (CH4) in the biogas. The highest CH4 composition was obtained on the 20th day, which reached 74.82%, and the highest volume of biogas production was at day 22, with the rate of 8.87 L/day. The highest energy potential obtained was 217.66 kJ/day.

The effectiveness of acidic thermal treatment (ATT) was examined in a 106-day continuous experiment, when applied to one- or two-stage anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge (4.3% TS). The ATT was performed at 170°C and pH 5 for 1 hour (sulfuric acid for lowering pH). The one-stage process was mesophilic at 20 days hydraulic retention time (HRT), and incorporated the ATT as pre-treatment. The two-stage process consisted of a thermophilic digester at 5 days HRT and a mesophilic digester at 15 days HRT, and incorporated the ATT as interstage-treatment. On average, VSS reduction was 48.7% for the one-stage control, 65.8% for the one-stage ATT, 52.7% for the two-stage control and 67.6% for the two-stage ATT. Therefore, VSS reduction was increased by 15–17%, when the ATT was combined in both one- and two-stage processes. In addition, the dewaterability of digested sludge was remarkably improved, and phosphate release was enhanced. On the other hand, total methane production did not differ significantly, and color generation was noted in the digested sludge solutions with the ATT. In conclusion, the anaerobic digestion with ATT can be an attractive alternative for sludge reduction, handling, and phosphorus recovery.
