This paper investigates the production of hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) from palm oil mill effluent (POME) using an integrated approach of thermophilic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and mesophilic microbial electrolysis cell (MECs). CSTR reactor was operated at pH 5.5, 80 rpm, 2 days HRT,...
