Mitigation of struvite formation in palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment facilities

Struvite formation or generally known as scaling in palm oil mill effluent ( POME) treatment system has long been identified to cause adverse impact on the efficiency of the POME treatment process. Its occurrence has become more common in recent years with the increase of nationwide palm oil mill...

Struvite samples were collected from a piping set up of a POME treatment facility in a 50 tph palm oil mill.

Maximum solubility of 270.4 mg/L was achieved at pH of 3 and temperature of 40oC while minimum solubility of 122.1 mg/ L was recorded at pH 7 and temperature of 25oC.
