“…POME while fresh is hot acidic and pH range between 4 and 5, brownish colloidal suspension containing high concentrations of natural matter, high quantities of total solids (40,500 mg/L), oil and grease (4000 mg/L) COD (50,000 mg/L) and BOD (25,000 mg/L) [15]. However, it also contains appreciable amounts of N, P, K, Mg and Ca which are the vital nutrient elements for plant growth [46]. The characteristic of POME based on Malaysian Palm Oil Board is shown in Table 3.…”

In recent decades, Malaysia has been known as one of the world's leading producers and exporters of palm oil products. Every year, the number of palm oil mills increases rapidly, thus increasing the capacity of fresh fruit bunch waste or effluent discharge. Based on the data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in 2012, Malaysia produced 99.85 million tons of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) per year. However, about 5-5.7 tons of water was required in order to sterilize the palm fruit bunches and clarify the extracted oil to produce 1 ton of crude palm oil resulting in 50% of the water turning into palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME is one of the major environmental pollutants in Malaysia. The characteristics of POME and its behavior, if discharged directly, in water are described in this chapter. The suspended solid and nutrient content in POME could be able to support the growth of algae. This chapter aims to demonstrate that POME could be used as a main source for algae production, and this effluent is one of the main environmental problems in the tropical region especially in Malaysia.

“…Several researchers reported the cultivation of microalgae on POME medium by varying light parameters to obtain optimal yields of the desired products. Kamyab et al [69] stated that the light cycle plays an important role in the lipid production of C. pyrenoidosa, cultivated on diluted POME, and continuous irradiance exposure gave the highest growth rate and lipid content compared to exposure to light dark cycles. Furthermore, regular dilution was employed to enhance irradiance in the cultures when cell densities were getting high, as reported by Hadiyanto and Nur 54.…”

Waste Biomass Valor

South East Asia dominates the production of palm oil worldwide. During the traditional wet processing, palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater is generated which poses serious environmental problems. Wastewater treatment using microalgae was initiated recently because of the advantages to lower nutrient content efficiently while the biomass can be utilized as bulk biomass or value added product. In the present review the utilization of wastewater for microalgal cultivation is discussed with particular attention to the feasibility of utilizing POME as microalgal growth medium. Whereas much recent research was focused on the production of bulk biomass, the potential for the production of value-added compounds has not often been addressed. Various strategies of obtaining high-value products are discussed. These include cultivation systems, algal species selection as well as and their growth strategies (autotrophic, heterotrophic, mixotrophic). In addition, potential problems associated with microalgal cultivation on POME will be evaluated. Finally, the concept of using stepwise strategies to obtain high value added product will be proposed.

“…There are many scientific papers illustrate that pollutants can be removed from water bodies by aquatic plant, microalgae, and microorganisms [12][13][14][15]. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that uses plant, microalgae, or microorganisms as catalysts to generate electricity from organic fuels.…”
