AB  - The present work investigates the application of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for 
      the pretreatment of wheat straw with an objective of enhancing the biogas 
      production. The hydrodynamic cavitation reactor is based on a stator and rotor 
      assembly. The effect of three different speeds of rotor (2300, 2500, 2700 rpm), 
      wheat straw to water ratios (0.5%, 1% and 1.5% wt/wt) and also treatment times as 
      2, 4 and 6 min have been investigated in the work using the design of experiments 
      (DOE) approach. It was observed that the methane yield of 31.8 ml was obtained 
      with untreated wheat straw whereas 77.9 ml was obtained with HC pre-treated wheat 
      straw confirming the favourable changes during the pre-treatment. The combined 
      pre-treatment using KOH and HC gave maximum yield of biogas as 172.3 ml. Overall, 
      it has been established that significant enhancement in the biogas production can 
      be obtained due to the pretreatment using HC which can also be further 
      intensified by combination with chemical treatment.
