The continuously increasing energy demand drives the utilization of renewable energy, one of which is biogas from cow dung. Biogas production is generally not optimal because fermentation is conducted at room temperature, which is less suitable for methanogenic bacteria. This research designs an Internet of Things (IoT) based anaerobic digester that can monitor and control temperature in real time, while also examining the effect of fermentation temperature on biogas volume and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The temperature of 25°C produced the lowest volume (0.3 L) and COD (9600 mg/L). The optimal fermentation condition is found at a temperature of 35°C. The research results indicate that temperature significantly affects the fermentation process. A temperature of 35°C yields the highest biogas volume (3.7 L) and the lowest COD (6400 mg/L), whereas a temperature of 27°C results in the lowest volume (0.3 L) and COD (9600 mg/L). The optimal fermentation condition is at a temperature of 35°C. The application of IoT facilitates the monitoring of the process and enhances the efficiency of biogas production.

This research successfully designed and built an IoT-based anaerobic digester system capable of monitoring and controlling fermentation temperature in real-time to support optimal biogas production.The highest biogas volume was achieved at a fermentation temperature of 35°C, demonstrating that this is the optimal temperature for increasing biogas production.These findings highlight the importance of temperature control in maximizing biogas production efficiency.

Further research should investigate the impact of thermophilic temperatures (above 45°C) on biogas production, comparing mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. To enhance the systems precision, future development should incorporate gas pressure and pH sensors for more comprehensive monitoring and control of the fermentation process. Additionally, exploring the integration of different organic waste mixtures, beyond cow manure, could broaden the applicability and efficiency of the IoT-based anaerobic digester, potentially leading to a more sustainable and versatile renewable energy solution. These advancements will contribute to optimizing biogas production and promoting its wider adoption as a clean energy source.
