A rational design for a once through thermophilic anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion on palm oil mill effluent (POME) was carried out at 5sOC in four reactors with retention times of 5, 15, 25, and 35 days on a laboratory scale to evaluate the biokinetic coefficients, pollution abatement and gas generation. The biokinetic coefficients Y, k, Ks, kd we...
