  • What is palm oil mill effluent (POME)?
  • ampung-35145, INDONESIA Email: [email protected]*;ABSTRACTHaving sustainable is a key issue in the developme t of palm oil industries in Indonesia. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a largest waste from palm oil mill with very high
  • Can palm oil mill effluent produce bioflocculant?
  • In another study, Hassimi et al. (2020) reported the production of bioflocculant using palm oil mill effluent (POME) and sago mill effluent (SME) as a fermentation feedstock. Highest yield of bioflocculant was produced in POME medium.
  • Can palm oil mill effluent be converted to a commodity?
  • Conversion of POME to a commodity will provide extra income to the industry. Potential energy products, pesticides, value-added-chemicals etc. are reviewed. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a substantial by-product generated in the palm oil industry that has traditionally been regarded as waste due to its high pollutant content.
  • Why is pome management important for the sustainable palm oil industry?
  • important to support the sustainability of palm oil industries. Sustainable POME management is crucial to developing a sustainable palm oil industry . The appropriate technology of sustainable POME management for each palm oil mill is depending on the condition of the palm oil mill and plantation, such as energy supply
  • What are new palm oil mill processes?
  • New palm oil mill processes are characterized by advanced oil separation technologies with zero dilution water (‘ECO-D’ for example as a new system for oil recovery without dilution water) and continuous sterilization of the fresh fruit bunch (FFB). These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME).
  • Can palm oil mill waste be used for antimicrobials?
  • Another potential POME use that has been explored is the production of antimicrobials. Boukaew et al. (2024) utilised waste from palm oil mills including oil palm decanter cake (OPDC) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) as substrates for the production of antimicrobial agents via fermentation using Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138.
