Limbah cair kelapa sawit atau dikenal dengan POME (palm oil mill effluent) dapat diproses menjadi biogas sebagai bahan bakar untuk pembangkit listrik. Produksi POME saat ini dapat digunakan untuk pembangkit listrik tenaga biogas (PLTBg) dengan kapasitas mencapai 153,4 MW yang sebagian besar berada di wilayah Sumatera. Salah satu pabrik kelapa sawit (PKS) yang berpotensi untuk pembangunan PLTBg adalah PKS Sei Pagar milik PTPN V Pekanbaru. Studi ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis keekonomian pembangunan PLTBg. PLTBg didesain dengan kapasitas 700 kW dengan menggunakan biodigester jenis continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Listrik yang dihasilkan akan dijual ke PLN dengan harga jual sebesar 85% biaya pokok penyediaan (BPP) pembangkitan wilayah Riau sebesar 1.249,5 Rp/kWh. Hasil perhitungan keekonomian menunjukkan bahwa biaya investasi mencapai 26,3 milar Rupiah dengan skema 70% pinjaman dari bank dan sisanya 30% dengan modal sendiri (equity). Biaya opersi dan perawatan mencapai 2,3 miliar Rupiah setiap tahun. Pembangunan PLTBg layak untuk dilaksanakan dengan nilai IRR sebesar 11,44%, waktu pengembalian modal selama 7 tahun 11 bulan, dan NPV sebesar 1.1 miliar Rupiah.

This study investigated the efficiency of biogas production from sewage concentrate through anaerobic digestion. A continuous stirred tank reactor with a 900-mL working volume was used. The experiment was designed to investigate the influence of organic loading rate on the efficiency of biogas production and to determine the most suitable organic loading rate condition for methane production from sewage concentrate by using continuous stirred tank reactor. The reactor was operated at different organic loading rates of 1.8, 0.8, and 0.6 gCOD/(L.d). The methane composition of the biogas produced from the treatment organic loading rate (OLR). The beginning of the experiment recorded low methane production because of the high organic loading rate. However, the later part of the experiment recorded high and stable biogas production because of the relatively low OLR. Results suggested that a 0.6 gCOD/(L.d) OLR was the most efficient setup parameter for ideal methane production from sewage concentrate by using continuous stirred tank reactor.

Abstract Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is wastewater with a relatively high temperature (80 – 90 °C) that is generated from the extraction of oil from palm fruit and palm kernels. Owing to its high discharge temperatures, the thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) of POME could be advantageous as treatment at thermophilic temperatures can reduce loads for cooling the wastewater. In this study, the effects of stepwise temperature increments of 5 °C from 55 °C to 70 °C on the AD of POME were investigated in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) operated under high organic loading rates (OLRs). The process performance and microbial community structure at each temperature interval were evaluated. It was observed that the methane production rates of the CSTR increased with increasing OLRs up to values of 13.7 g/L d, 25.7 g/L d, and 26.5 g/L d at operating temperatures of 55 °C, 60 °C, and 65 °C, respectively. As a result of the increasing OLRs, the maximum rate of methane production increased from 3.8 L/L d at 55 °C to 4.4 L/L d at 60 °C and to 3.8 L/L d at 65 °C. The microbial community structure analysis showed that there were notable reductions in the gene copy number of the bacterial domain and the Methanosarcinales order with increasing temperatures from 55 °C to 60 °C and to 65 °C, whereas hydrogenotrophic methanogens, especially the genus Methanobacterium, in the order Methanobacteriales became dominant at 60 °C and 65 °C. Thus, the methanogenesis pathway was suggested to be a combination of acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis at 55 °C and 60 °C with an increased contribution of hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis at 60 °C, whereas methane was mainly generated via hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis at 65 °C. The thermophilic AD of POME at 60 °C was found to be promising because the methane content in the biogas and the methane production rates were optimal, with an average methane content of approximately 73%.
