To evaluate the effects and interaction of three reaction variables: COD, VFA, and ammonia on methane production, their data recorded in a time order were subjected to fit and multiple regression analysis, which generated a second order quadratic polynomial equation used to predict the optimized methane production.	cache/american_scientific_journal-5828.pdf	txt/american_scientific_journal-5828.txt
