Industri minyak sawit mempunyai impak yang besar ke atas alam sekitar. Efluen kilang minyak sawit (dikenali juga sebagai palm oil mill effluent, POME) merupakan buangan cecair yang terdiri daripada sebatian organik yang berasal daripada bahan bolehurai dan sedia direput oleh miroorganisma aerobik dan juga anarobik. Teknologi rawatan POME masa kini banyak bertumpu kepada kaedah biologis. Proses–proses ini memerlukan keluasan tanah yang besar dan tidak menjamin pencapaian had discas yang dibenarkan[1]. Kertas ini menghuraikan satu kajian mengenai potensi kegunaan teknologi membran untuk merawat POME dari kolam discas terakhir. Bahagian pertama kajian ini meneliti ciri–ciri beberapa kolam yang terdapat di loji rawatan air sisa POME yang sedia ada. Kajian membran pula melibatkan penggunaan membran gentian kosong dengan MWCO berjulat 30K hingga 100K. Data yang diperolehi menunjukkan bahawa membran yang mempunyai MWCO 100K menghasilkan fluks yang lebih tinggi daripada membran MWCO 30K, tetapi membran MWCO 30K memberi permeat yang kualitinya lebih baik. Kualiti permeat hasil daripada membran di atas berjaya menurunkan COD, SS, TKN dan nitrogen–amonia masing–masing sebanyak 97.66%, 98%, 53.85% dan 61.91%. Tetapi pemindahan warna memerlukan rawatan tambahan. Kata kunci: Membran, penurasan-ultra, POME, rawatan sisa The palm oil industry has a significant impact on the environment. Palm oil mill effluent (POME), which is the liquid discharge, comprises of mainly organic compounds originating from biodegradable materials and is readily decomposed by anaerobic, and aerobic microorganisms. The current treatment technology of POME is largely biological in nature. These processes require large acreage of land and do not always achieve the discharge limits [1]. This paper describes a study on the potential use of membrane technology to treat POME from the final discharge pond. The first part of the study investigated the establishment of characteristics of the various ponds within the current POME wastewater treatment plant. The membrane study essentially used hollow fiber membrane of MWCO ranging from 30 to 100K. The results showed that the hollow fiber membrane with MWCO 100K gave higher fluxes compared to the MWCO 30K, however, the latter membrane gave better quality permeate. The quality of permeate achieved from the membrane with MWCO 30K gave reductions in COD, SS, TKN and ammoniacal–N of 97.66 %, 98 %, 53.85 % and 61.91 % respectively. However, color removal may require further treatment. Key words: Membrane, ultrfiltration, POME, waste treatment

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

Palm Oil Mill

The palm oil industry produces liquid waste called POME (palm oil mill effluent). POME is stated as one of the wastes that are difficult to handle because of its large production and ineffective treatment. It will disturb the ecosystem with a high organic matter content if the waste is disposed directly into the environment. The authorities have established policies and regulations in the POME waste quality standard before being discharged into the environment. However, at this time, there are still many factories in Indonesia that have not been able to meet the standard of POME waste disposal with the existing treatment technology. Currently, the POME treatment system is still using a conventional system known as an open pond system. Although this process can reduce pollutants’ concentration, it will produce much sludge, requiring a large pond area and a long processing time. To overcome the inability of the conventional system to process POME is believed to be a challenge. Extensive effort is being invested in developing alternative technologies for the POME waste treatment to reduce POME waste safely. Several technologies have been studied, such as anaerobic processes, membrane technology, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), membrane technology, adsorption, steam reforming, and coagulation. Among other things, an AOP, namely photocatalytic technology, has the potential to treat POME waste. This paper provides information on the feasibility of photocatalytic technology for treating POME waste. Although there are some challenges in this technology’s large-scale application, this paper proposes several strategies and directions to overcome these challenges.
