Biomethanation of Sugarcane Wastewater by Ultrasonic Membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS) to Produce Methane Gas

The five largest countries that produce sugar from sugarcane in 2011 were Brazil, Thailand, India, European Union,and China. The demand for sugars nowadays is high, thus, the production of sugar is increasing nowadays, and the sugarcane wastewater increased and caused more pollutions. Therefore, was...
