The experiment is about the study of biogas production from the co-digestion of agricultural waste in Malaysia. This process of the biogas production is through anaerobic digestion process where the samples are digested by using the BMP (Bio-methane Potential) method. The BMP method is carried out by the water displacement principle. The samples selected for this study is cow dung and Napier grass. These 2 samples are co-digested with inoculum known as POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent). The objective of this study is to maximize the production of biogas through co-digestion method involving agricultural wastes. Both of these samples are performed under mesophilic condition at 37 degree Celsius. Highest water displaced by the co-digestion between Napier grass and inoculum at 229mL. The least water displaced by the co-digestion of cow dung and inoculum at 24.2mL.
