The UASB method treats wastewater from cow and chicken slaughter, achieving a transformation to meet environmental standards in 24 hours. This process yields 25 liters of methane gas, usable as cooking fuel and energy.
Concurrently, the CSTR method handles solid wastes, producing 42 liters of methane, surpassing UASB output, and generates digestate that serves as fertilizer. Both innovations have attracted attention from TNB Research Sdn Bhd, receiving substantial grants for further research. The potential application of these methods includes treating sewage and leachate, thereby enhancing waste management efficiency in the agriculture sector.
