Abstract

Key findings

  • Increasing electrode surface area significantly enhances methane production in a UASB reactor.
  • The optimal electrode surface area for maximum methane production is found to be 10 cm².
  • The bioelectrochemical enhancement of methane production is attributed to the increased surface area for microbial attachment and electron transfer.
