  • Is palm oil mill effluent sustainable & efficient biogas production?
  • Results offer potential for sustainable and efficient large-scale biogas production. The palm oil industry generates a considerable amount of waste, known as palm oil mill effluent (POME), which is characterized by high levels of chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD and BOD).
  • How is biogas produced from palm oil mill effluent & empty fruit bunch?
  • Biogas production of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunches (EFB) was performed by coupled liquid (L-AD) and solid-state (SS-AD) anaerobic digestion processes. POME was fed to L-AD digester, while mixed of effluent from L-AD and EFB was fed to SS-AD digester.
  • Can a public-private partnership converge on biogas capture from palm oil mill effluent?
  • The purpose of this report is to provide a strategy around which a public-private partnership (PPP) can converge to implement and finance biogas capture from palm oil mill effluent (POME) and reuse for renewable electricity generation at large scale that will encompass a significant portion of the APEC region’s palm oil mills.
  • What is palm oil mill effluent?
  • The palm oil industry generates a considerable amount of waste, known as palm oil mill effluent (POME), which is characterized by high levels of chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD and BOD). The anaerobic digestion of POME is a potential solution for generating biogas, a renewable energy source that can be used for power generation.
  • How to upgrade biogas in palm oil mill?
  • Mohamad et al. analysed that water scrubbing is the most practical technique for biogas upgrading in the palm oil mill industry, followed by membrane and chemical scrubbing and PSA. Among various methods that can be used to produce high-quality bio-CNG, cryogenic upgrading is less commonly used because of its complicated operating method.
  • How much biogas can a ton of palm oil produce?
  • Around 25,000 kilograms of POME is generated during the production of one ton of crude palm oil, yielding approximately 70 cubic meters of biogas . Hence, one ton of POME can potentially produce 28.13 cubic meters of biogas.
