Background Full-scale biogas production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) was inhibited by low pH and highly volatile fatty acid (VFA) accumulation. Three strategies were investigated for recovering the anaerobic digestion (AD) imbalance on biogas production, namely the dilution method (tap water vs. biogas effluent), pH adjustment method (NaOH, NaHCO3, Ca(OH)2, oil palm ash), and bioaugmentation (active methane-producing sludge) method. The highly economical and feasible method was selected and validated in a full-scale application. Results The inhibited sludge from a full-scale biogas reactor could be recovered within 30–36 days by employing various strategies. Dilution of the inhibited sludge with biogas effluent at a ratio of 8:2, pH adjustment with 0.14% w/v NaOH, and 8.0% w/v oil palm ash were considered to be more economically feasible than other strategies tested (dilution with tap water, or pH adjustment with 0.50% w/v Ca(OH)2, or 1.25% NaHCO3 and bioaugmentation) with a recovery time of 30–36 days. The recovered biogas reactor exhibited a 35–83% higher methane yield than self-recovery, with a significantly increased hydrolysis constant (kH) and specific methanogenic activity (SMA). The population of Clostridium sp., Bacillus sp., and Methanosarcina sp. increased in the recovered sludge. The imbalanced full-scale hybrid cover lagoon reactor was recovered within 15 days by dilution with biogas effluent at a ratio of 8:2 and a better result than the lab-scale test (36 days). Conclusion Dilution of the inhibited sludge with biogas effluent could recover the imbalance of the full-scale POME-biogas reactor with economically feasible and high biogas production performance.

The increasing of palm oil mills as a result of an increase in public interest of land exploitation to produce  palm oil can cause high environmental pollution if the waste oil generated were not managed properly. Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is the wastewater generated by palm oil extraction process. On the other hand, POME is a renewable energy source. To address the need for electrical energy increases, the monitoring of POME is an effort that needs to be studied because POME is no longer a pollutant to the environment but a helpful resource.This study uses field data collection in the form of POME volume and treatment plant process management to determine the COD levels so that the estimation of total biogas can be done. Based on the calculation of the energy potential of POME in Jambi province with  processing capacity of the entire Province amounted to 1,230 tons FFB / hour, 20 hours operating time / day and COD content of 50,000 mg / L, the amount of energy can be obtained is 737.712 MWh / day or 269.26 GWh / Year.Keywords: POME, biogas, energy
