biomethanation of palm oil mill effluent in Ghana
Ghana s palm oil sector goes green with biogas technology
The technology to modernize the processing centres will include a biogas system to treat palm oil mill effluent by extracting methane gas. This gas will then be used in the further processing of the palm oil. The remaining waste, which meets the Ghana government s Environmental Protection Authority s standards, can be used as fertilizer.

Abstract The direct discharge of palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater causes serious environmental pollution due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
Feasibility of using Biogas digesters as a Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME
This study investigates the economic feasibility of using biogas digesters for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) management by artisanal palm oil millers in Ghana. A 20 m3 and 40 m3 digesters were piloted in two (2) regions in Ghana and data on parameters such as total cost of an operational system, gas production per day,operation cost, and
Environmental impacts of Small-Scale palm oil production in Ghana: A
The palm oil extraction stage of Ghana s small-scale crude palm oil life cycle emits 1.53 kg CO 2 equivalent of greenhouse gases per kg of crude palm oil. The discharge of untreated palm oil mill effluent (POME) into the environment is the main environmental hotspot in small-scale palm oil processing in Ghana. Treatment and/or reuse of POME is key in enhancing the environmental

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) with average chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 70,000 and 30,000 mg/L, respectively, can cause serious environmental hazard if discharged untreated. There are conventional palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment systems that require large footprint, long HRT and fail to meet the Malaysia Department of Environment (DOE) discharge
Biomethane potential of the POME generated in the palm oil industry in
The palm oil industry experienced significant improvement in its production level from 2002 to 2009 from the established companies, medium scale mills (MSM), small scale and other private holdings (SS and OPH) groups. However, the same cannot be said for treatment of the palm oil mill effluent (POME) produced. The quantity of crude palm oil (CPO) produced in Ghana from 2002 to 2009 and IPCC
PDF Environmental impacts of Small-Scale palm oil production in Ghana: A
The discharge of untreated palm oil mill efluent (POME) into the environment is the main environmental hotspot in small-scale palm oil processing in Ghana. Treatment and/or reuse of POME is key in enhancing the environmental sustainability of small-scale palm oil processing in Ghana.
Feasibility of using Biogas digesters as a Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME
This study investigates the economic feasibility of using biogas digesters for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) management by artisanal palm oil millers in Ghana. A 20 m3 and 40 m3 digesters were piloted in two (2) regions in Ghana and data on parameters such as total cost of an operational system, gas production per day, operation cost, and possible selling price for the biogas and liquid
Treating palm oil mill effluent (POME): Opportunities, challenges,
Abstract Palm oil mill effluent (POME) remains a major environmental challenge in the palm-oil industry due to its high organic load, nutrient content, recalcitrant compounds, and methane emissions associated with conventional treatment and disposal.
