Anaerobic treatment system for palm oil mill effluent

Published by

We are looking for a treatment technology with the smallest footprint possible for palm oil mill effluent in Indonesia.

The wastewater parameters are:

Please tell us about which treatment system would be perfect for us with above specifications. 

Expected flowrate is 360-400m3/day

Did you find what you wanted?

Technology has moved since you posted your original question and if you have not got exactly what you need it may be available now.

You do need to state what your flow rate is.

For POME, The favour for treatmebt this influent is Use UASB followed with upflow bioremediation, this effluent will produce high methane biogas. We will ready for your consultant to design this package treatment.

Thank you for the update. From my experience CSTR followed by IFAS/MBBR is a reasonable answer; your calculations will tell you for certain. Important issues will be i) solids management and ii) the hydrolysis rate for your incoming solids. The two-stage process with a pre-acidification tank may be helpful for this. Good luck with your project, sounds like you are in a good direction.

I agree with You - after all, new technology and the new that applies to their technology is better, so energy-efficient, resource-saving, innovative solution to the problem. Even compare footprint - the new technology is FIVE times smaller in size !!! is an achievement, so it will be less bulky equipment means fewer people will need to be maintained... And it is always easier and less expensive, means more cost effective means getting the most profit at the same rates. Or the ability to install the treatment equipment where the old equipment could not be placed. A decline in the sanitary protection zone ( we have it 700метров), 50 metres? 650 x 650 x 4 = 1 690 000 m2.- is not the saving of resources??? So the application of new technologies profitable in many positions and the one who finds own income and expenses should be interested in it. !!!

you have to try new things.  if you continue to use old technology,  then you will get the same typical results and  the same cost profile.

try a new system, that is guaranteed to cut your capex and opex profile.

Why not go for something like this design here used in Nepal for remote villages produce their own methane gas, if required you could install a Petrol & Oil separation or Grease Trap process inside so water volume removed quicker whilst fermentation solids remain, and like Paul Comet stated you design wetands for outlet effluent too ultimately become purified for completion it!

A high rate  anaerobic ...

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 . In the process of palm oil milling, effluent is generated through the sterilization of fresh oil palm fruit bunches, clarification of palm oil and from hydrocyclone operations. Discharge of palm oil mill wastewater without proper treatment will damage the environment by polluting water and causing a foul smell in the neighborhood of a factory. Continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR) have also been studied for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent. Furthermore, biogas from the closed treatment system can be utilized as a fuel for electricity generation. This form of utilization of domestic natural resources will not only reduce the dependency on foreign fuel imports for electricity generation but also have a lower environmental impact.

Bio-digestor which uses anaerobic digestion process is the solution. This can be achieved using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) or Complete Mixing process in a closed tank. Biogas generated can be used as fuel or for generation of electricity. If you were earlier using open anaerobic lagoon technology, you can get carbon credits. Earlier many CDM projects received financial support through UNFCCC. But the extent of economic benefits have been reduced at present.

Dear Dann:

Our website WaterSmart  Environmental, Inc. contains more than 7,000 pages regarding the correct use of anaerobic digestion technology.  My recommendation consists of flying me to your country for the purpose of constructing a small (8 foot diameter x 20 feet tall stainless steel anaerobic digester that will produce methane gas and carbon dioxide gas identical to one's body.   My contact information is:
