Integrating Two-Stage Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket With A Single-Stage Aerobic Packed-Bed Reactorfor Raw Palm Oil Mill Effluent Treatment. Abstract: Annually, enormous amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) ranging between 56.58 to 70.55 million m3 are producedduring the production of palm oil. Its acidic and high organic loading characteristics can cause severe water pollution if discharged without proper treatment. In Malaysia, most oil palm production mills adopted ponding treatment system. However, this treatment requires high retention time and large build area. Thus, the treatment paradigm has shifted tointegrated high rate bioreactors by coupling anaerobic and aerobic processesdue to the incompetency of the conventional treatment in complying the standard effluent discharged outlined by the Department of Environment.Despite the outstanding treatment performance exhibited by this bioreactor, diluted POME was used in almost all previous studies instead of fresh raw POME. Therefore, the researched bioreactors may not be as efficient in real application. This present study aimed to employ the principle of two-stage anaerobic process followed by a single stage aerobic process for the treatment of fresh raw POME, in whicha two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket digester was integrated with a single-stage anaerobic packed bed reactor. This is to ensure the lignocellulosic components will be broken down into simpler organic compounds in the first stage anaerobic bioreactor followed by their reduction in the second stage anaerobic and single stage aerobic bioreactors.With this, the potential mechanical problems and inhibition on the operational interference of the currently available integrated system is rectified. Thus, the overall performance can be enhanced.The treatment efficiency of this system was examined by evaluating the removal of several important parameters, namely chemical oxygen demand (COD) and sludge reduction reported in terms of total suspended solids (TSS). Throughout the 150 days of operation, approximately 93% and 55% of reduction were observed for COD and TSS, respectively, suggesting this integrated system was competent in treating high strength wastewater.Nonetheless, further research need to be made to ensure the stability consistency and feasibility of this integrated system pp. 1-4

Cake Filtration For Suspended Solids Removal In Di gestate From Anaerobic Digested Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome) Abstract: Oil palm industry contributes significantly to the economic growth in Malaysia. At the same time, it generates a huge amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) which contains valuable resources for energy, water and nutrients recovery. Currently, it has been used as feed for anaerobic biogas reactor to produce methane, a renewable energy source. The effluent discharged from the anaerobic digester, known as digestate, still contains abundant water and nutrients for recovery. However, the presence of suspended solids in digestate hinders the downstream water and nutrients recovery processes. Cake filtration process that has been successfully employed in water industry to remove suspended solids appears to be an attractive option for the removal of suspended solids in digestate. This paper investigates the performance of cake filtration process in removing suspended solids in digestate. Various types of filter aid such as perlite,diatomaceous earth (DE), bleaching earth (BE), powdered activated carbon (PAC), and boiler ash (BA) are used in this study. The amount of filter aid used as precoat and body feed was also varied (with ratio 1:1 from 1.0 g to 3.0 g) in the process. The effectiveness of cake filtration process was evaluated based on the quality of filtered digestate and the filtration flux. Overall, the particle size and size distribution of filter aids have huge influence on the cake filtration process. Turbidity removal above 90 % can be achieved regardless the type and amount of filter aids used. Due to the presence of plenty fine pores (as shown by FESEM image) on perlite particles and its narrow particle size distribution, the permeation of water was the highest flux (1 ml/cm2.min) and retention of suspended solids also was among the highest compared to other filter aids. This study shows that cake filtration process has the potential to be used to remove suspended solids in digestate so that the nutrient and water can be recovered in the following downstream process pp. 5-9
