One of the more promising processes for the energetic transformation of waste is the anaerobic digestion of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW). An experimental campaign was carried out on three different samples of OFMSW from Waste Separation (WS), one as received and two obtained after mechanical treatment (squeezing): OFMSW slurry (liquid fraction) and OFMSW Waste (residual solid fraction). Anaerobic Biogasification Potential (ABP) and anaerobic digestion tests (AD) were carried out, investigating the effects of inoculum and pH. The OFMSW Waste was also examined to evaluate the possibility to dispose of it in a landfill. Results showed that OFMSW slurry must be diluted and inoculated and that pH control in the start up phase is essential, in order to have significant biogas productions. OFMSW as received did not show a significant biogas production, while OFMSW Waste showed suitable characteristics for landfill disposal, except for Dissolved Organic Carbon. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
