Palm oil mill effluent, or POME, is one of the oil-contaminated pollutants produced by the palm oil industry. POME is wastewater with approximately 3000-6000 mg/L of oil and grease (O&G) [33, 34] .
Single anaerobic digestion of rubber latex effluent (LTE) is known to be difficult and low yield which produces biogas containing high sulfur dioxide and ammonia. This article investigates the potential of co-digestion of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and LTE both in terms of synergistic, inhibitory effects and process stability particularly in inferring what would happen in an …
1. Introduction. Presently, Malaysia contributes over 29% of world palm oil production and 37% of world exports [].According to the Malaysia Palm Oil Board [], the current palm oil cultivation area is more than 5.81 million ha, and the production capacity is expected to increase due to the teeming population and industrial demand [].In 2017, there were 454 …
Palm oil is an important edible oil in the global fats and oil market and its industry is also one of the prominent global agricultural industries. The production of crude palm oil reached 62.34 million tonnes in 2014. However, enormous volumes of production has subsequently discharged large volumes of a palm oil mill effluent (POME).
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is brownish in color, has high temperature, acidic pH, and contains residual oil, plant debris, and nutrients (Ho et al., 1984).Due to the high content of organic substances in the effluent, a series of treatments such as anaerobic, aerobic, and facultative ponds and tank systems are necessary before it can be discharged into rivers (Poh …
In palm oil milling process, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the largest waste generated where 2.5 tons of POME are produced on average from every ton of oil extracted and typical raw POME contains about 1% or range in 4000 mg/L of oil and grease (Ahmad and Chan, 2009, Putri Primandari et al., 2013, Menon, 2011).

Palm oil plays a crucial role in Malaysia's economy, however, significant quantities of waste sludge known as palm oil mill effluent (POMES) are generated during the process. Meanwhile, improper disposal or management of this generated sludge poses environmental challenges including contamination of water bodies and emission of greenhouse gases ...
Palm oil mill effluent is suitable for biohythane production via by two-stage thermophilic fermentation due to has high organic matter (75–96 g COD/L), high temperature (70–90 °C) and a large amount of POME available at palm oil mill plant [2], [12]. However, most of the reports are still at the lab scale.
The need for edible oil has increased resulting with a consequent boost in palm oil production. As a result, production of palm oil mill effluent (POME) which is one of the by-products of the ...
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) The milling process of palm oil was classified into a dry and wet process. In Malaysia, the wet process is the most typical method of extracting palm oil from the palm fresh bunches. The extraction of crude palm oil from the palm fresh bunches will go through a series of steaming and squeezing in boiler and ...
Recent technological advances have turned palm oil mill effluent (POME) from harmful waste to useful sustainable feedstock that can be used to produce valuable by …
PDF | On Apr 8, 2019, Azam Akhbari and others published A study of palm oil mill processing and environmental assessment of palm oil mill effluent treatment | Find, read and cite all the research ...
Palm oil represents a sustainable biodiesel feedstock owing to the perenniality (continuous productivity of 25–30 years) and high oil yield (4 MT/ha) of oil palms [1].Nevertheless, the European Union (EU) refrained the utilisation of palm oil biodiesel as surrogate fuel with the assertion on deforestation [2].Malaysia Palm Oil Council (MPOC) believed that the mandatory …
Corporation (Head Office: Naniwa-ku, Osaka; Chairman of the Board and President: Yasuo Masumoto; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") has received an order for 5 plants to recover biogas from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in Sumatra in the Republic of Indonesia, in a joint venture with a local construction company.
Palm oil mill effluent (POME), which abundantly discharged from the palm oil industry, appears to be a potentially low cost carbonaceous source for the synthesis of GSC. This study presented a ...
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is high strength wastewater derived from processing of palm fruit. It is generated in large quantities in all oil palm producing nations where it is a …
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 …
Worldwide, crude palm oil industries generate an overwhelming amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Since the past few decades, environmental issues associated with POME disposal have ...
During the palm oil milling operation, which mainly produces crude palm oil (CPO) and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO), a huge number of underutilised by-products are also generated. For each tonne of CPO, approximately 2.5 tonnes of palm oil mill effluent (POME), 0.9 tonnes of empty fruit bunches (EFB), 0.6 tonnes of mesocarp fibres, and 0.27 ...
The rapid growth of the palm oil industry in Indonesia has made it the world's largest palm oil producer. However, this progress comes with a challenge as the industry generates Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which poses an environmental threat if directly discharged into the environment. POME contains high concentrations of organic
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) comes mostly from mills, and it is a major pollutant and source of effluent [1]. Approximately three billion pounds of POME are produced yearly, …
In Nigeria, palm oil effluent is discharged into the environment in its raw form especially by small-scale ope-ators. This study is based on the palm oil producing town of Anyigba, which is a central lgala town in the eastern flank of Kogi State in central Nigeria. The abun- dance of palm trees in the area makes the large produc- ...
In contrary, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the major liquid by-product of palm oil milling process. POME contains high proportion of water (95–96%), 0.6–0.7% of oil and 4–5% of total solids, at which 2–4% is suspended solids. Although it is non-toxic, its unpleasant smell and high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen ...
