Methane production by treating vinasses from hydrous ethanol using a modified UASB reactor
Abstract Background A modified laboratory-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was used to obtain methane by treating hydrous ethanol vinasse.Vinasses or stillage are waste materials with high organic loads, and a complex composition resulting from the process of alcohol distillation.They must initially be treated with anaerobic pro
