Review of Current Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Treatment Methods: Vermicomposting as a Sustainable Practice
Palm oil processing operation is invariably accompanied by palm oil mill effluent (POME) considered to be an environmental pollutant. While anaerobic digestion and the present tertiary treatment technologies of POME are able to meet the current regulatory effluent discharge requirement of biological oxygen demand (BOD) 100 mg litre-1 the current limit set by the Department of Environment

PALM OIL MILL EFFLUENT (POME) FROM MALAYSIA PALM OIL MILLS: WASTE OR RESOURCE 1Yahaya S. Madaki* and 2Lau Seng 1Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation 2Centre for Technology Transfer and Consultancy Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan Kuching, Malaysia
Review of Current Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Treatment Methods: Vermicomposting as a Sustainable Practice accounts the expansion of the oil palm industry in Malaysia. The for 30, 6, 3 and 28.5% of the FFB processing, respectively. first commercial oil palm plantation was established by Palm oil mill effluent also contains significant
Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Characteristic in High
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a wastewater generated from palm oil milling activities which requires effective treatment before discharge into watercourses due to its highly polluting properties. The characterization of wastewater is the essential step in the design of any wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the industry as conducting pilot-scale tests to obtain design and operating
Abstract. With the growing volume of palm oil production, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is an inevitable by-product that causes serious environmental hazards if discharged directly to the environment. This is mainly due to its high concentrations of chemical oxygen
Palm Oil Mill Effluent Treatment Process Evaluation
Introduction Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a viscous brown liquid with fine suspended solids at pH between 4 and 5 1 and a highly polluting wastewater that directly and indirectly contaminates the environment. 2 The chemical properties of POME vary widely throughout the year because of mill operations and seasonal cropping. 3 Atmospheric methane concentrations incredibly increased by
High performance electrocoagulation process in treating palm oil mill effluent using high current intensity application Mohd Nasrullah 1, A. W. Zularisam 1, Santhana Krishnan 1, Mimi Sakinah 1, Lakhveer Singh 2, Yap Wing Fen 3
Palm oil mill effluent treatment and utilization to
Palm oil mill effluent treatment and utilization to ensure the sustainability of palm oil industries. A palm oil mill with 45 ton FFB/hour capacity has potential to generate about 0.95-1.52 MW of electricity. Coupling the POME-based biogas digester and anaerobic co-composting of empty fruit bunches (EFBs) is capable of adding another 0.93 MW.
Review of Current Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Treatment Methods: Vermicomposting as a Sustainable Practice
- What is palm oil mill effluent (POME) in Malaysia?
- Malaysia is known for its high oil palm production, which results in a significant amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Improper treatment or direct discharge of untreated POME can have significant impacts on water pollution.
- Can palm oil mill effluent be a sustainable resource?
- Palm oil mill effluent (POME) from Malaysia palm oil mills Waste from Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been a major source of environmental pollution to communities. To curtail this, Madaki and Seng (2013) presented the potentials of POME as a resource that can contribute to world economic and sustainable development.
- How to treat palm oil mill effluent?
- Some techniques are implemented to treat palm oil mill effluent, such as anaerobic ponding systems, integrated anaerobic-aerobic bioreactors, coagulation and flocculation, thermochemical treatment, vermicomposting, membrane filtration, photocatalysis, moving bed biofilm reactors, and zero liquid discharge.
- What is aerobically treated palm oil mill effluent (at-pome)?
- Conventionally, biological aerobic treatment method is widely applied to treat POME because the pollutant contains various nutrients that can support bacteria/microorganism growth for digesting process to produce a less polluted wastewater called aerobically treated palm oil mill effluent (AT-POME) [2, 3].
- What is palm oil mill waste treatment?
- Palm oil mill waste treatment technologies have been fostering biological microorganisms, physicochemical methods, coagulation, membrane, and thermochemical processes.
- How can a palm oil mill reduce waste generation?
- For the different scales are applied to fit the palm oil mill’s financial capability. environment. It is recommended to apply zero discharge effluent as a resource. With the development of science can reduce wastes generation. Curtin University Malaysia for facilitating this work. and Syiah Kuala University Indonesia is highly appreciated.
