Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)

 POME are the oily wastewater

discharge generated by palm oil
processing mills
 They are combined wastes from palm
oil processing, sterilizer condensate,
Mass/tonne of FFB
and cooling water Component
(Fresh Fruit Bunch)
 Forms: high soild, oil, and grease BOD 27 kg

 POME is non-toxic, but the biochemical COD 62 kg

oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical Suspended Solids
oxygen demand (COD) depletes the (SS) 35 kg

aquatic system of its oxygen Oil and grease 6 kg

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)
 Treatment strategies exists:
 Ponding system
 Biological microorganism
 Physicochemical methods of
coagulation and membrane
 Thermochemical process
