Biomethanation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) by ultrasonic-membrane anaerobic system (UMAS)
Palm oil Mill Effluent (POME) is the wastewater produced during production process of palm oil. POME is a non-toxic thick brownish liquid waste, which has an unpleasant odor. It contains high amounts of total solids, oil and grease, with high concentration of COD and BOD. POME discharged at 80 -90°C...

Palm oil Mill Effluent (POME) is the wastewater produced during production process of palm oil. POME is a non-toxic thick brownish liquid waste, which has an unpleasant odor. It contains high amounts of total solids, oil and grease, with high concentration of COD and BOD. POME discharged at 80 -90°C and it is fairly acidic with pH ranging from 4.0-5.0. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) with average chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 70,000 and 30,000 mg/L, respectively, can cause serious environmental hazard if discharged untreated. In this study, methane gas is produced by process of biomethanation of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) using 50L of ultrasonic-membrane Anaerobic System (UMAS). The operating pressure for this study is maintained at 2 bars. Reactor was operated under ambient temperature (30-35 ºC).
