Abstract Simple Summary 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. These methods utilized various designs and modifications of bioreactors fostering effective fermentation technology in the presence of
The palm oil production process in mills consists of several unit operations. The processing of fresh fruit bunches of oil palm results in the generation of different types of residue. Among the waste generated, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most harmful waste for the environment if discharged untreated.
Palm oil mill effluent POME treatment
Conventional palm oil mill effluent ponding systems For POME treatment, palm oil mills have traditionally relied on ponding systems that take up a huge amount of space and involve both anaerobic and aerobic biological processes. The anaerobic process generates methane (greenhouse gas), emitting it into the surrounding atmosphere.
Thus, oil palm tree plantations are spreading across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. From the viewpoint of soil and water pollution, palm oil production provides serious problems. 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.
Recent advancements in the treatment of palm oil mill
In 2021, palm oil plantations have produced over 79,141 (1000 metric ton) of crude palm oil across the world (USDA, 2022). The process of oil extraction from the fruit bunches generates high volume of polluting wastewater and large amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) from the palm oil mill industries (Takriff et al., 2014).
Palm Oil processing gives rise to highly polluting wastewater, known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which is often discarded in disposal ponds, resulting in the leaching of contaminants that pollute the groundwater and soil, and in the release of methane gas into the atmosphere. POME is an oily wastewater generated by palm oil processing mills and consists of various suspended components
Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent | SpringerLink
Palm oil production generates two types of waste which are solid and liquid waste known as palm oil mill effluent (POME). On a wet basis, total product stream distribution in oil palm mills is more than 100% due to extra water being added during the process, like sterilization, and most of this water ends up in POME.
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) presents significant environmental challenges in palm oil-producing countries due to its complex composition and high organic content. Membrane technology has emerged as a viable treatment option that offers efficient separation processes. This review examines various POME treatment methods with an emphasis on membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications. MBRs
Review of Current Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Treatment
Among the waste generated, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most harmful waste for the environment if discharged untreated.
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a substantial by-product generated in the palm oil industry that has traditionally been regarded as waste due to its high pollutant content. However, recent advances emphasize the possibility of recovering valuable resources from POME, which would contribute to environmental sustainability and economic benefits.
