In this study, the interactive effects of feed flow rate (QF) and up-flow velocity (Vup) on the performance of an up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (UASFF) reactor treating palm oil mill effluent (POME) were investigated. Long-term performance of the UASFF reactor was first examined with raw POME...
