Effect of inoculum ratio on molasses-based distillery wastewater towards biogas production via anaerobic digestion approach / Diane Ernie Anak Dinell

Molasses-based distillery wastewater (MOW) is a categorized as high-strength for its high content of COD and BOD. This wastewater would threat the environment if it were to be discharged without being treated properly. Therefore, it is important to find the most suitable treatment method that has th...
