Disposal of the increasingly huge amounts of sewage sludge (SeS) has become an impending problem worldwide. To solve this problem, a high-solid anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) was used for the anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of SeS and food waste (FW). This study investigated the effects of SeS ratio on the methanogenic performance of the AcoD with a gradual increase value from 0 to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (total solids based). The results showed that the highest methanogenic performance was achieved at mono FW digestion. As for the co-digestion, the optimal FW/SeS ratio for methanogenic performance was 75%:25% among all the mixing ratios. The COD based biogas yield and methane yield were 0.498 L-biogas/g-COD_fed and 0.295 L-CH₄/g-COD_fed at this optimal mixing ratio, which were 67.7% and 67.6% higher than those of the mono SeS digestion, respectively.
