Biomethanation of sewage sludge by using ultrasonic membrane anaerobic system (UMAS) using sewage sludge as substrate

This study is going to introduce Ultrasonic Membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS) as an alternative to current conventional methods to solve the problem of membrane fouling. Raw sewage sludge was treated by UMAS which consists of a cross flow ultra-filtration membrane (CUF) apparatus, while pH, pressure,...
