“…La disposición final de las aguas residuales ha sido estudiada con el fin de utilizarlas como fertilizante (Prasertsan y Prasertsan, 1996;Zulkifli et al, 2010), y en procesos de compostaje con racimos vacíos como sustrato de hongos filamentosos descomponedores de celulosa, hemicelulosa y lignina (Yusoff, 2006;Mohammad et al, 2012) (Figura 3). Las grasas recolectadas de las lagunas de oxidación, compuestas principalmente por aceite crudo de palma y ácidos grasos libres, son una buena fuente de nutrientes en la fabricación de alimentos para animales (Yaakub et al, 2009;Chee et al, 2012), como sustrato en la obtención de productos biotecnológicos como proteína unicelular, celulasa, xilanasa, betaglucosidasa y pectinasa, enzimas que pueden ser generadas a partir del cultivo de Aspergillus niger (Prasertsan y Prasertsan, 1996), y como medio de fermentación para la producción de antibióticos, bioinsecticidas, polihidroxialcanoatos, ácidos orgánicos y disolventes mediante la utilización de diferentes cepas de bacterias (Wu et al, 2009).…”

Para más información escríbanos a pccmca@ucr.ac.cr ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo fue destacar la importancia económica del aprovechamiento óptimo de los productos y subproductos de la palma aceitera. En Colombia este cultivo en etapa productiva puede generar anualmente en promedio 3,14 t de aceite, y hasta 21,68 t de residuos sólidos y líquidos por hectárea. Estos datos permiten estimar que para las 450 131 ha presentes en Colombia en 2014, se produjeron más de nueve millones de toneladas de residuos sólidos y líquidos; la biomasa fue empleada principalmente para la generación de energía y vapor, liberando el contenido de carbono nuevamente al ambiente. Estos residuos poseen un gran potencial en muchas industrias, algunas por desarrollar, por lo que, es de especial importancia intentar maximizar el uso de los residuos para generar beneficios económicos y ambientales. Ejemplo de ello es la torta de palmiste, con un potencial nutricional en la alimentación animal, la fibra en la industria de biocompuestos, la biomasa y el estípite en la industria maderera, el glicerol, el biodiesel y los efluentes líquidos en la industria química y biotecnológica. El aprovechamiento de estas materias primas puede ayudar a establecer un balance positivo en el cultivo de esta especie.Palabras clave: biocombustibles, gases de efecto invernadero, efluentes líquidos, Colombia. AbstractThe objective of this research was to highlight the economic importance of the optimal use of products and byproducts of oil palm. In Colombia, productive crops per hectare can generate, over one year, an average of 3.14 tons of oil, and up to 21.68 t of solid and liquid waste when the plant is on a productive stage. These data allowed the researcher to estimate that more than nine million of t of solid and liquid waste was produced from the 450 131 ha present in 2014, in Colombia; the produced biomass was used to generate energy and steam, releasing carbon dioxide back again into the environment. These residues have great potential in many industries, some to be developed, therefore, it is of special importance to try to maximize the use of waste produced by oil palm production, to generate economic and environmental benefits. An example of this is the palm kernel cake, with a nutritional potential in animal feed, fiber in the biocompound industry, biomass and stipe in the timber industry, glycerol, biodiesel, and liquid IntroducciónLa agricultura es la actividad básica para el hombre, ha generado grandes cambios a través de la historia; mediante su expansión, los seres humanos han transformado los ecosistemas más rápida y extensamente que en ningún otro período de la historia humana, permitiendo resolver de forma rápida las demandas crecientes de alimento, agua, madera, fibra y combustible (Reid et al., 2001).Colombia, es uno de los productores agrícolas con una div...

“…The production of amylase by these microbes could be associated with the POME richness in minerals and nutrients. Generally, POME physicochemical properties enhance the production of enzymes such as cellulase, lignin peroxidase, xylanase (Wu et al, 2009), pectinase and β-glucosidase. …”

“…Of these, 72 -75% ends up as POME. Similarly, Ahmad et al (2003), Okwute and Isu (2007), Wu et al (2009) estimated that 5.0 -7.5 tonnes of POME is generated from the voluminous quantity of water used in the processing of one tonne of FFB. POME contain a diverse group of microorganisms such as acid forms and hydrocarbon degraders (Ohimain et al, 2012c).Oil palm being a major source of lipase producing microorganisms, several lipolytic bacteria, fungi and mold are capable of flourishing on it , due to its nutrient content.…”

With the advent of biotechnology, several industries are dependent on enzyme for production processes. This study evaluated the physicochemical and microbiological quality of POME for amylase production. Triplicate POME samples were collected aseptically from semi-mechanized oil palm processing mills in Bayelsa state, Nigeria. The physicochemical properties of the POME samples were determined using standard analytical procedures. The results of the physicochemical quality assessment result were 6.56 ( . The microbial populations of the samples were1.3 x 10 5 cfu/ml and 6.9 x 10 3 cfu/ml for total heterotrophic bacteria and total fungi respectively. The bacteria isolates are Micrococcus species, Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species, Staphylococcus aureus, while the fungi isolates are Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida species, Fusarium species, Mucor species and Penicillium species. Of bacterial isolates, Micrococcus species and Staphylococcus aureus has the highest and least occurrence frequency of 34% and 13% respectively, while in fungi isolates Penicillium species and Fusarium species has the highest and least isolates with 23% and 7% respectively. Of the microbial isolates of POME, Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species, Staphylococcus aureus, Penicillium species, Fusarium species, Mucor species, Candida species and Aspergillus niger were predominant for the production of amylase. This amylase can be utilized in several industrial/biotechnological sectors including biofuels.

“…Although POME is non-toxic, it is acidic around pH 4.0-5.0 and brownish in color with a discharge temperature between 80 and 90 °C [9]. Due to the release of POME into the environment, POME was identified as the largest pollutant discharged into the rivers of Malaysia [10,11]. The performance of double-chambered MFC with POME as substrate was investigated by incorporating polyacrylonitrile carbon felt (PACF) as the electrode in the MFC [12].…”

Abstract. This study is aimed to evaluate the electricity generation from microbial fuel cell (MFC) and to analyze the microbial community structure of city wastewater and anaerobic sludge to enhance the MFC performance. MFCs, enriched with palm oil mill effluent (POME) were employed to harvest electricity by innoculating of Klebsiella oxytoca, collected from city wastewater and other microbes from anaerobic sludge (AS). The MFC showed maximum power density of 207.28 mW/m 3 with continuous feeding of POME using microbes from AS. Subsequent replacement with Klebsiella oxytoca resulted maximum power density of 1236 mW/m 3 by utilizing complex substrate POME which was six times higher as compared to MFC operated with AS. Based on Biolog gene III analysis, relatively higher abundance of Klebsiella oxytoca was detected in the city wastewater. Predominant microorganisms such as Gammaproteobacteria, Azospiraoryzae, Acetobacterperoxydans and Solimonasvariicoloris were isolated from palm oil anaerobic sludge as well as from biofilm of MFC. Enriched electrochemically active bacteria Klebsiella oxytoca showed better performance to generate electricity from complex POME substrates compare to AS. These results demonstrate that the power output of MFCs can be increased significantly using Klebsiella oxytoca.
