Response surface methodology with a central composite design was applied to optimize fermentative hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket fixed film reactor. In this study, the concurrent effects of up-flow velocity (Vup) and feed flow rate (QF) a...
