A kinetic study of the anaerobic digestion process of palm oil mill effluent (POME) was carried out in a laboratory-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (UASFF) bioreactor at mesophilic temperature (38 8C). Influent COD concentrations in the range of 5260–34725 mg/l were applied at steady state...
