The influence of temperature and types of filter media on the palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment using the hybrid up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (HUASB) reactor

Anaerobic wastewater treatment has been introduced as a clean technology due to its efficient feasibility for the treatment of high strength wastewater. It is now implemented in many tropical countries especially in Malaysia. However, some operational parameters are still under research and req...

description Anaerobic wastewater treatment has been introduced as a clean technology due to its efficient feasibility for the treatment of high strength wastewater. It is now implemented in many tropical countries especially in Malaysia. However, some operational parameters are still under research and required additional knowledge. This research was thus conducted using the hybrid up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (HUASB) reactor packed with oil palm shell (OPS) as filter material, for the biological treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME). This research aimed at investigating the effects of temperature, type of filter media and sludge bed development on the system treatment efficiency. Long term operation (233 days) was conducted using three reactors operated at several temperatures (26-61°C) and organic loading rates (from 1.87 to 14.06 kg COD. m-3 .day-1 ), in order to assess the optimal treatment conditions.
