Effect of Organic Loading Rate on Hydrogen (H2) and Methane (CH4) Production in Two-stage Fermentation under Thermophilic Conditions using Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)

The present study dealt with hydrogen and methane production in a sequential up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at thermophilic temperature. The POME was used as a suitable substrate of carbon source. The effect of various OLR was investigated from 25...
