Alternative Anaerobic Treatment Processes to treat POME using membrane system coupled with ultrasonic applications

Featured Image

Why is it important?

Current conventional Membrane Anaerobic System (MAS) treating higher organic loading rate of POME suffers lower percentage removal of COD and lower yield of methane production due to intermittent fouling of the membrane. With the introduction of ultrasonic applications into the system, the membrane fouling can be reduced so as to enhance COD removal efficiency, which in turns increasing the yield of methane gas.

Perspectives

This paper will provide an alternative method to treat POME for wastewater treatment.
