“…Growth profile and kinetic parameters of microalgae (a) UKM 2, (b) UKM 3 and (c) C. vulgaris grown in supernatant after POME treatment treated with UKM 6 and (d) UKM 2, (e) UKM 3 and (f) C. vulgaris grown in supernatant after POME treatment treated with UKM 8 supplied with 5% CO 2 in mix gas biomass. The potential production of biodiesel from microalgae biomass do not compete with oil crops and food which makes the overall system much more valuable (Zainal et al 2012). The feasibility of integrated system of POME treatment and CO 2 sequestration were shown in this study.…”

“…Several researchers reported that microalgae can be cultivated on higher concentrations of digested POME as compared with undigested POME. Zainal et al [171] utilized 100% v/v of anaerobically digested POME, which was demonstrated to be rich in organic acid, as growth medium for S. platensis. Here, 90% of COD was removed.…”

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.

“…Among them, Spirulina platensis showed higher growth rates and nutrient removal efficiency. A maximum growth rate of 1.1825 g/L was achieved by Spirulina platensis in anaerobically digested Palm Oil Mill Effluent on the 12 th day in the culture flasks (Zainal et al 2012). A pilot plant facility with raceway ponds is to be established at UKM for developing a continuous cultivation technology for algae in the treated (POME) wastewater for biofuel applications.…”

The world seems to be raising its energy needs owing to an expanding population and people's desire for higher living standards. Diversification biofuel sources have become an important energy issue in recent times. Among the various resources, algal biomass has received much attention in the recent years due to its relatively high growth rate, its vast potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change, and their ability to store high amounts of lipids and carbohydrates. These versatile organisms can also be used for the production of biofuel. In this review, sustainability and the viability of algae as an up-coming biofuel feedstock have been discussed. Additionally, this review offers an overview of the status of biofuel production through algal biomass and progress made so far in this area.
