Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high amount of organic contents and residual oil associated with many environmental concerns related due to discharge of untreated POME.
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a significant source of inland water pollution because it is made up of lignocellulosic wastes and a combination of carbohydrates and oil. When it is
- What is palm oil mill effluent?
- Palm oil mill effluent (POME) exists in forms of high solid, oil, and grease and includes biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in richness. These are major concerns in environmental pollutant due to their adverse effects to many forms of life .
- Why is palm oil mill effluent a major source of inland water pollution?
- Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a significant source of inland water pollution because it is made up of lignocellulosic wastes and a combination of carbohydrates and oil. When it is dumped into nearby rivers or lakes without treatment, POME can cause significant harm to the environment [10, 23]. ... ...
- Does palm oil mill effluent have anaerobic digestion?
- Development of anaerobic digestion methods for palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment. Bioresource Technology, 100 (1), 1–9. Choong, Y. Y., Chou, K. W., & Norli, I. (2018). Strategies for improving biogas production of palm oil mill effluent (POME) anaerobic digestion: A critical review.
- What is nutrient-rich palm oil mill effluent (POME)?
- In 30 % POME that had been acid-heat pretreatment, a biomass concentration of 2.12 g/L and a lipid content of 11.21 % were obtained . Nutrient-rich palm oil mill effluent (POME) promotes the growth of Spirulina platensis, a microalga recognized for producing phycocyanin and chlorophyll.
- Can palm oil mill effluent be converted into biogas?
- However, along with its breakthrough, the generation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) as uncontrolled waste has become a serious matter and requires proper management to reduce its negative effects on the environment. Subsequently, the high organic content of POME makes it possible to convert waste into value-added products, such as biogas.
- Does palm oil mill effluent produce biomass and lipid production?
- The marine diatom Chaetoceros affinis was used to study biomass and lipid production using media containing different concentrations of palm oil mill effluent (POME). 20 % POME produced the highest biomass concentration (734 ± 66 mg/L), which was around 11 % less than the control medium.
