"Proses produksi pada reaktor biogas dari limbah cair pabrik kelapa sawit atau Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) sering menghadapi masalah karena keterbatasan laju hidrolisis. Keterbatasan ini terjadi akibat terbentuknya lumpur dan gumpalan yang mengurangi voulme efektif digester biogas serta mengurangi potensi biogas yang dihasilkan. Lumpur dan gumpalan yang dihasilkan berasal dari tingginya kandungan dan juga serat yang ada pada POME. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan seperti pengambilan secara manual maupun pengadukan secara mekanik atau dengan turbulensi melalui pemompaan cairan dengan kuat. Namun, upaya tersebut memerlukan tambahan alat, SDM dan energi sehingga biaya proses produksi terus meningkat. Sebagai alternatif lain, maka pemanfaatan lipase dan xilanase menjadi alternatif yang menjanjikan untuk pretreatment yang dapat meminimalisir kandungan padatan hemiselulosa dan minyak atau lemak di dalam POME. Lipase dapat menghidrolisa lemak dan minyak menjadi asam lemak rantai pendek dan xilanase dapat menghidrolisa hemiselulosa menjadi monomernya, sehingga memudahkan produksi biogas. Pada penelitian ini telah terbukti bahwa pretreatment dengan xilanase dan lipase mampu menurunkan total suspended solid (TSS) sebesar 49,21 %; total solid (TS) sebesar 34, 52 % dan meningkatkan gula pereduksi sebesar 44,37 %, selain itu mampu menurunkan minyak dan lemak sebesar 88,82 pada konsentrasi 4 %. Serta menignkatkan produksi biogas sebanyak 52,17 % dan penghilangan chemical oxygen demand (COD) sebesar 49,7 %.

The production process at biogas reactors from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) often faces problems due to limited hydrolysis rates. This limitation occurs due to the formation of mud and lumps which reduce the effective volume of the biogas digester and reduce the potential for biogas produced. The sludge and lumps produced come from the high content and fiber present in the POME. Various treatments have been made such as manual extraction or mechanical stirring or by turbulence through strong fluid pumping. However, these treatments require additional tools, human resources and energy so the production process costs continue to increase. As an alternative, the use of lipase and xylanase is a promising alternative for pretreatment that can minimize the content of hemicellulose and oil or fat in POME. Lipase can hydrolyze fat and oil into short-chain fatty acids and xylanase can hydrolyze hemicellulose into its monomer, thus facilitating biogas production. In this study it was proven that pretreatment with xylanase and lipase was able to reduce total suspended solid (TSS) by 49.21%; total solid (TS) of 34, 52% and increasing reducing sugar by 44.37%, besides that it can reduce oil and fat by 88.82 % at a concentration of 4%. As well as increasing biogas production by 52.17% and removal chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 49.7%."

"The main focus of this article was to investigate the potential of natural zeolite adsorbent for the removal of CO2 and H2S in biogas produced from palm oil mill effluent (POME) in fixed-bed column adsorption. The effects of the flowrates and dosage of the adsorbent on the CO2 adsorption were also studied. The surface area of the adsorbent was determined using the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) model, while the pore size distribution was calculated according to the Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda (BJH) model. The morphology of the adsorbent was determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray (FESEM-EDX) analysis. Before and after purification, the biogas was analyzed by gas chromatography with a thermal conductivity detector and polydimethylsiloxane as a column. Biogas from the POME, via the anaerobic digestion process, produced 89% CH4 and 11% CO2. The surface and structure of the clinoptilolite zeolites was modified by a strong acid (1M HCl), strong base (1M NaOH), and calcination at 450°C, and the surface area of the natural zeolites was reduced up to 16%. The working capability of CO2 adsorption by the modified zeolites decreased with increasing flow rates (100, 200, and 300 mL/min) of the biogas, with levels of CO2 at 106,906, 112,237, and 115,256 mg/L. The removal of the CO2 in the biogas by using adsorbent dosages of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 g was 97,878, 97,404 and 93,855 mg/L, respectively. The optimum purification of the biogas occurred under the flow rate of 100 mL/min and adsorbent dosage of 2.5 g. The high working capability of the modified zeolites for the removal of CO2 in the biogas was a key factor, and the most important characteristic for the adsorbent. The results indicate that clinoptilolite zeolites are promising adsorbent materials for both the purification and upgrading of biogas."

"Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is an agro-industrial waste product with high availability and which contains high quantities of organic compounds that are necessary for microbial growth. Cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were grown in POME to produce lipase using the submerged fermentation method. The objective of this study is to obtain the optimum value of lipase activity produced by the cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using POME as the substrate through the submerged fermentation method and to obtain the dry extract of lipase. In the study, the one factor at a time (OFAT) method was applied, which allowed observation of the effect of inoculum and additional nutrient concentrations, such as Ca2+ ion, olive oil, peptone and Tween 80, on the activity of lipase. These factors were investigated in shake flask fermentation at 30°C over 96 hours. The activity unit of lipase was determined by the titrimetric reaction of olive oil hydrolysis using crude lipase. The optimum value of the lipase activity unit (1.327 U/mL) was gained when 3% (v/v) of inoculum, 4 mM of Ca2+ ion, 0.4% (v/v) of olive oil, 0.9% (m/v) of peptone, and 0.9% of Tween 80 were added into the medium. Crude lipase was then dried using a spray dryer. Subsequently, 15.643 g of dry extract lipase was obtained from 500 mL of cell free supernatant. In further research, the lipase activity assay would be better achieved using the p-nitrophenyl palmitate hydrolysis method and examined by a spectrophotometer."

Asam palmitat merupakan asam lemak jenuh yang paling banyak terdapat dalam air buangan industri kelapa sawit (Palm Oil Mill Effluent, POME). POME menyebabkan tingginya kebutuhan oksigen kimia dan berdampak kepada kerusakan ekosistem di perairan. Pada penelitian ini, asam palmitat dalam sistem emulsi air-etanol dan satu fasa (air) dengan pH basa digunakan sebagai model limbah cair POME untuk di elektrooksidasi menggunakan anoda Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) secara kontinu dan batch. Karakterisitik kinerja anoda BDD di amati melalui siklik voltametri dan kronoamperometri, sedangkan penurunan asam palmitat dimonitor dengan pengukuran Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) dan LCMS-MS pada setiap waktu elektrooksidasi. Selain itu, untuk melihat umur pakai anoda BDD dan stabilitas struktur BDD pada elektrolisis asam palmitat telah dipelajari juga penggunaan potensial tinggi. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa elektrooksidasi asam palmitat pada sistem campuran air-etanol maupun tanpa etanol terjadi secara tidak langsung melalui pembentukan radikal hidroksida pada daerah dekat pembebasan oksigen. Indikator penurunan asam palmitat dalam sistem emulsi air-etanol baik secara kontinu dan batch ditunjukan oleh penurunan COD yang berturut-turut mencapai 75,91% dan 75.46% selama 1 jam elektrooksidasi pada potensial +10,0V. Penurunan COD dipengaruhi oleh besarnya potensial yang diberikan dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi. Pada metoda kontinu, potensial yang diterapkan +10,0V dan lama waktu elektrookasidasi 4 jam tercapai penurunan COD sebesar 87,61%, sedangkan pada metoda batch, potensial yang diterapkan +3,0V dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi sama yaitu 4 jam tercapai penurunan COD tertinggi sebesar 85,75%. Sedangkan penurunan asam palmitat dalam sistem tanpa etanol dan potensial yang diterapkan +5,0V selama 5 menit elektrooksidasi menunjukan efisiensi yang rendah yaitu 37,16% dan bertambahnya waktu penurunan COD konstan. Studi stabilitas struktur BDD menunjukan bahwa penerapan potensial tinggi dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi 4 jam telah menyebabkan penurunan kualitas struktur BDD.

POME causes high chemical oxygen demand and impacts on the damage to the ecosystem in the waters. In this study, palmitic acid in a emulsion system of water ethanol and one-phase system of water and alkaline pH was used as a model of POME liquid waste to be electrooxidated using Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) anodes continuously and in batches. The performance characteristics of BDD anodes are observed through voltammetry cyclic and chronoamperometry, whereas the decrease in palmitic acid is monitored by the measurement of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and LCMS-MS in every time of electro-oxidation. In addition to looking at the life span of BDD anodes and the stability of BDD structures, high potential use in palmitic acid electrolysis has also been studied. The results of the study indicated that the electro-oxidation of palmitic acid in the water-ethanol emulsion system and the without ethanol occurs indirectly through the formation of hydroxide radicals in the area near oxygen evolution. Indicators of a decrease in palmitic acid in water-ethanol mixture system both continuously and in batch are shown by a decrease in COD which respectively reached 75,91% and 75,46% for one hour of electro-oxidation at a potential of +10,0V. The decrease in COD is influenced by the magnitude of the potential given and the time length of electro-oxidation. In the continuous method, when the potential applied was + 10,0V and the time length was four hours of electro-oxidation, it achieved a COD reduction to 87,61%, while in the batch method, the potential applied was +3,0V and the time length of electro-oxidation was the same that is ie 4 hours, it achieved the highest COD reduction into 85,75%. On the other hand, the decrease of palmitic acid in the solution system without ethanol and the potential applied +5,0V for 5 minutes of electro-oxidation showed a low efficiency of 37,16% and increased time to decrease COD constant. The study of BDD structure stability showed that the application of high potential and the time length of electro-oxidation of 4 hours has caused a decrease in the quality of BDD structure.

"Kitosan adalah polielektrolit organik semulajadi yang berjisim molekul danberketumpatan caj yang tinggi, diperoleh dari deasetilasi kitin. Kajian ini meneroka potensi dankeberkesanan kitosan sebagai pengental utama dan flokulan, dibandingkan dengan aluminiumsulfat (alum), untuk rawatan awal sisa kilang kelapa sawit (POME). Siri ujian pengentalan danflokulasi kelompok telah dikendalikan di bawah keadaan yang berbeza seperti dos dan pH untukmenentukan keadaan optimal bagi pengental kitosan dan alum. Prestasi diuji berdasarkanpenurunan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejal terampai (TSS) dan keperluan oksigen kimia(COD). Kitosan menunjukkan penurunan parameter yang lebih baik dengan keperluan dos yanglebih rendah berbanding alum, walaupun pada pH sampel yang asal, iaitu 4.5. Pada pH 6, dosoptimal kitosan pada 400 mg/L mampu menurunkan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejalterampai (TSS) dan keperluan oksigen kimia (COD) sebanyak 99.90%, 99.15% dan 60.73% masing-masing. Pada pH ini, pengentalan POME oleh kitosan dibawa oleh kombinasimekanisme peneutralan cas dan titian polimer. Alum merekodkan dos optimal pada 8 g/L dan pHoptimal pada pH 7 dengan penurunan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejal terampai (TSS) dankeperluan oksigen kimia (COD) sebanyak 99.45%, 98.60% dan 49.24% masing-masing.Kombinasi kitosan dan alum menunjukkan peningkatan kecekapan yang amat kecil dibandingkandengan menggunakan kitosan sendirian. Daripada keputusan yang diperolehi, dapat dicadangkanbahawa mekanisme titian polimer oleh kitosan adalah lebih dominant berbanding alum dan dosalum juga dapat dikurangkan."

"Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) merupakan produk samping dari kegiatan pengolahan kelapa sawit yang berpotensi mencemari lingkungan jika dibuang secara langsung karena tingginya nilai Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), dan Total Suspended Solid (TSS). Walau demikian, POME mengandung kandungan organik yang mendukung habitat bakteri anaerobik penghasil hidrogen. Fermentasi gelap merupakan salah satu pendekatan dalam pengolahan POME di mana dalam prosesnya mampu menghasilkan biohidrogen selain mengatasi masalah limbah. Biohidrogen merupakan sumber energi hijau dan berkelanjutan karena tidak melepaskan produk samping yang berbahaya bagi lingkungan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan studi pengaruh konsentrasi karbon:nitrogen:fosfor (C:N:P) dalam meningkatkan produksi biohidrogen menggunakan bakteri Enterobacter aerogenes. Salah satu faktor utama yang mempengaruhi produktivitas bakteri dan hasil total hidrogen adalah sumber nutrien C:N:P dan konsentrasinya. Media yang digunakan adalah POME steril dengan pH 7, fruktosa sebagai sumber karbon, NH4Cl sebagai sumber nitrogen, KH2PO4 sebagai sumber fosfor, dan 5% inokulum bakteri Enterobacter aerogenes dengan inkubasi (24-96 jam, anaerobik, tanpa agitasi, suhu 37oC).  Konsentrasi C:N:P optimum diperoleh pada konsentrasi 5000:500:50 ppm dengan persentase H2 sebesar 1,91%, 12,27%, 18,16%, and 21,33% pada waktu inkubasi 24, 48, 72, dan 96 jam. Terdapat penyisihan nilai COD, BOD, dan TSS terbesar pada POME hasil degradasi bakteri Enterobacter aerogenes, pada variasi konsentrasi C:N:P optimum dengan persentase masing-masing yaitu 89,92%, 84,97%, dan 86,12% pada waktu inkubasi 96 jam.

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) contains organic substances that support the habitat of hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria and a by-product of palm oil processing with potential environmental pollution if disposed directly due to its high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Total Suspended Solid (TSS) value. Dark fermentation is one of the approaches in POME processing to produce biohydrogen in addition to overcome waste problem. Biohydrogen is a green and sustainable energy source because does not release harmful by-products for environment. In this research, the effect of carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) concentrations in order to increase biohydrogen production by using the bacterium Enterobacter aerogenes was conducted. One of the main factors affecting bacterial productivity and total hydrogen yield is the source of C:N:P nutrients and concentrations. The media used were sterilized POME with pH 7, fructose as a carbon source, NH4Cl as a nitrogen source, KH2PO4 as a phosphorus source, and 5% of Enterobacter aerogenes inoculum with incubation (24-96 hours, anaerobic, without agitation, temperature of 37oC). The optimum concentration of C:N:P was obtained at a concentration of 5000:500:50 ppm with the proportion of H2 of 1.91%, 12.27%, 18.16% and 21.33% at incubation times of 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The highest removal of COD, BOD, and TSS in POME degradation of Enterobacter aerogenes bacteria, with respective percentage of 89,92%, 84,97%, and 86,12% on the 96th hours of incubation time."
