“…In terms of technical aspects, the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to monitor lipid production under various combinations of temperature and cell densities has been reported [475] while the use of various photobioreactors [578] and lipid synthesis in an open pond simulating reactor have been published [579]. The influence of the growth medium has been studied with regard to the use of oil crop biomass residues [580] or palm oil mill effluent [581]. Finally, new developments in biodiesel conversion technology have been reviewed [582].…”

“…The quality of biodiesel feedstock from conversion of microalgae is based on their high biomass content, lipid productivity, and suitable fatty acid compositions. One of the microalgae species Chlorella is the most common microalgae that has been used for treatment of POME, which is of major interest for production of biodiesel feedstock due to the ability to accumulate large amount of lipids under stress [90]. To further review the availability of Chlorella microalgae acting as a feedstock for biodiesel, an experiment was done based on the growth of Chlorella in different cultivation systems using POME as medium to evaluate the algae formed for biodiesel feedstocks.…”

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the wastewater produced during the palm oil sterilization process, which contains substantial amounts of nutrients and phosphorous that are harmful to the environment. High BOD and COD of POME are as high as 100,000 mg/L, which endanger the environment. Effective pre-treatment of POME is required before disposal. As microalgae have the ability of biosorption on nutrients and phosphorous to perform photosynthesis, they can be utilized as a sustainable POME treatment operation, which contributes to effective biofuel production. Microalgae species C. pyrenoidosa has shown to achieve 68% lipid production along with 71% nutrient reduction in POME. In this study, a brief discussion about the impacts of POME that will affect the environment is presented. Additionally, the potential of microalgae in treating POME is evaluated along with its benefits. Furthermore, the condition of microalgae growth in the POME is also assessed to study the suitable condition for microalgae to be cultivated in. Moreover, experimental studies on characteristics and performance of microalgae are being evaluated for their feasibility. One of the profitable applications of POME treatment using microalgae is biofuel production, which will be discussed in this review. However, with the advantages brought from cultivating microalgae in POME, there are also some concerns, as microalgae will cause pollution if they are not handled well, as discussed in the last section of this paper.
