The generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasing. Organic waste is the main constituent of MSW. When it is properly disposed and treated, it can be used to generate energy. Currently, a good alternative to its disposal is anaerobic digestion for energy purposes.
However, there are other forms of treatment, such as composting and incineration as well as landfilling. Anaerobic digestion is a fermentation process in which organic matter is turned into biogas and biofertilizer. Biogas containing methane can be used as a source of energy and biofertilizer used as organic fertilizer. Other treatment methods have some disadvantages compared to anaerobic digestion like gases escape to the atmosphere, high operating costs and ash production. In anaerobic digestion several factors are involved such as pH, alkalinity, temperature, substrate, TRH, humidity, and C/N. It is very important to control these factors for the proper functioning of the digestion process. This bibliographic review focuses on the current developments in anaerobic digestion and the main control parameters involved. A working trend has been identified in current studies leading to the production of biogas. It was observed that knowing the most influential factors in the biodigestion process and its behaviors contributes to the proper functioning of the biological treatment with methane production
