Abstract

In today's urbanized society, many commercial and industries releasing organic wastes, sewages and fertilizers contain nutrients such as nitrates, sulphates and phosphates to stream, rivers, lakes and oceans. This can lead to severe water pollution when an overwhelming amount of waste accommodates in natural ecosystem. Consequently, when the wastes are not destroyed as fast as produce they make it unfavourable to humans and many other organisms. Hence it is very important to prevent the pollution of vital and limited resources of water by providing adequate treatment of liquid waste emanating from domestic and industrial sources. Traditional methods for sewage sludge treatment have both economical and environmental disadvantages. In this study Ultrasonicated Membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS) used for treating sewage sludge and advantages of this method is reduces the treatment cost and reduction of solid sludge as well as in increase the production of the biogas.
