Anaerobic digestion is widely used as a primary treatment for palm oil mill effluent. Biogas is produced in the process in the amount of 20 m 3 per ton FFB. This effluent could be used for biogas production through anaerobic digestion. At many Palm-oil mills this process is already in place to meet water quality standards for industrial effluent.
Palm oil mill effluent is a fresh product available in the vicinity of oil palm mills. Environmental impact Palm oil mill effluent is a highly polluting material, due to its high biological oxygen demand (BOD), low pH and colloidal nature.
Biogas from palm oil mill effluent (POME): Opportunities
The generation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) alongside with the production of crude palm oil has created environmental issue for the palm oil mill industry in Malaysia due to its polluting characteristics. POME with its high organic content is a source with great potential for biogas production.
