Continuous Production of Organic Acids from Palm Oil Mill Effluent with Sludge Recycle by the Freezing-Thawing Method

The performance of the anaerobic treatment of palm oil mill effluent for organic acids production at a short retention time of less than 5 days was assessed by incorporating a sludge recycle system with no pH control except by adding calcium carbonate. The system could be operated successfully for a...

description The performance of the anaerobic treatment of palm oil mill effluent for organic acids production at a short retention time of less than 5 days was assessed by incorporating a sludge recycle system with no pH control except by adding calcium carbonate. The system could be operated successfully for a 3.5-day retention time at pH 5. The sludge solids in the treated effluent were separated by a freezing-thawing technique and it was partly recycled back to the reactor. The thawed clarified POME solution contained a low SS of 2,200–3,500 mg/L. The organic acids production with a concentration of 10–14 g/L was essentially similar to the treatment for a 5-day retention time without a sludge recycle. Hence by incorporating a sludge recycle system with the freezing-thawing method, the retention time for the treatment could be reduced without affecting the organic acids generation.
