The treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) poses a significant challenge for Malaysia's palm oil industry, necessitating compliance with the Department of Environment (DOE)
Palm Oil ( Elaeis guineensis ): A Journey through Sustainability
Palm oil, derived from Elaeis guineensis, is a critical component of the global edible oil and industrial fat market. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the sustainability of
The high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels in palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater make it an environmental contaminant.
- Does palm oil mill effluent require treatment before discharge to the environment?
- Articles from Biology are provided here courtesy of Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) Palm oil mill effluent (POME) requires treatment prior to discharge to the environment. Biological processing technology is highly preferable due to its advantages of environmentally friendliness, cost effectiveness, and practicality.
- How does palm oil mill waste affect the environment?
- Improper management of palm oil mill waste such as releasing the palm oil mill effluent (POME) into water bodies will lead to rapid decrease in oxygen levels in water bodies, which disrupts the sustainability of ecosystems and impedes the biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial environments and human , .
- What is palm oil mill effluent (POME)?
- Apart from the solid fraction of the waste produced in mills, large amounts of liquid waste water are also discharged during the palm oil processes, namely palm oil mill effluent (POME). It is estimated that one tonne of FFB generates around 0.5–0.75 tonnes of POME (Yacob et al., 2006).
- Is palm oil mill effluent a suitable habitat for thermotolerant microorganisms?
- Palm oil mill effluent is a suitable habitat for thermotolerant microorganisms. Moreover, discharge of POME with high BOD into the pond systems facilitates the growth of different anaerobic species, such as Kluyveromyces marxianus.
- What is the difference between biological and physico-chemical treatment of palm oil mill waste?
- Biological treatment methods utilize microorganisms to break down organic matter in palm oil mill waste and can achieve significant reductions in COD, BOD, and TSS. Physico-chemical methods involve the use of chemical agents and physical processes to treat the waste.
- What are the by-products of palm oil mill effluent processing?
- For instance, processing the fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) generates vast quantities of by-products such as palm oil mill effluent (POME), palm pressed fibre (PPF), palm kernel cake (PKC), and palm kernel shell (PKS). The process starts with sterilizing FFB in large pressure vessels at temperatures of about 120–130 °C (Nwuche et al., 2014).
