Ultrasonicated Membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS) for sewage sludge treatment
Sewage sludge wastewater causes serious environmental pollution due to its high concentration in term of pollutants. Traditional methods of treating sewage sludge wastewater are disadvantages from both economic and environmental perspectives. In this study, the potentials of Ultrasonic Assisted Memb...

Sewage sludge wastewater causes serious environmental pollution due to its high concentration in term of pollutants. Traditional methods of treating sewage sludge wastewater are disadvantages from both economic and environmental perspectives. In this study, the potentials of Ultrasonic Assisted Membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS) in treating sewage sludge was investigated. The study began with some characterization studies to provide understanding of fundamental issues such as conventional separation, ultrasonic and membrane separations. The aim was to obtain optimum operating conditions, maximum methane production as well as performance of UMAS in treating sewage sludge, upon which further developments on wastewater processes could be developed. A pilot plant scale of UMAS has been used to treat sewage sludge.
