Installation of a bench scale reactors for methane fermentation

Two postgraduate students and an engineer from Japan installed the bench scale reactors for methane fermentation of duckweed and industrial wastewater at a tapioca starch factory on the outskirts of Khon Kaen city. The co-digestion of industrial wastewater and duckweed could produce methane gas as a bioenergy. It is expected that this approach will lead to the development of an environmentally friendly technology for energy generation.
