Anaerobic treatment of palm oil mill effluent in a two
A high rate anaerobic treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) was achieved in a two-stage up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The acidogenic reactor acclimated rapidly to the wastewater and was tolerant to a suspended solids (SS) concentration of 5.4 g l −1 in the influent wastewater.
Large volumes of untreated palm oil mill effluent (POME) pose threat to aquatic environment due to the presence of very high organic content. The present investigation involved two pilot-scale anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactors, continuously operated for 1
High-rate anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent
1. Introduction. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one of the most versatile crops in the tropical world.The production of palm oil, however, results in the generation of large quantities of polluted wastewater commonly referred to as palm oil mill effluent (POME).
Abstract. Palm oil mill effluent was treated anaerobically in 210 dm −3 tank digesters in which inoculation with anaerobic seeding coupled with careful addition of lime could shorten the natural stabilisation process to about 30 days. The system was subsequently scaled up to 500 tonnes capacity. The characteristics of the anaerobically digested liquors were studied at 10 and 20 days

Application of Ponding Systems in the Treatment of Palm
treating palm oil mill effluent. They are either sour, overloaded or all clogged up because of poor mixing. Ponds do need maintenance and occasional desludging. SOME PONDING SYSTEMS IN MALAYSIA Ponding has been used considerably in Malaysia in the treatment of the two main agro-industrial effluents: rubber and palm oil mil] effluent.
The palm oil industry is the most important agro industries in Malaysia and most of the mills adopt anaerobic digestion as their primary treatment for palm oil mill effluent (POME). Due to the
