Current Progress on Removal of Recalcitrance Coloured Particles from Anaerobically Treated Effluent Using Coagulation–Flocculation

Abstract

The palm oil industry is the most important agro industries in Malaysia and most of the mills adopt anaerobic digestion as their primary treatment for palm oil mill effluent (POME). Due to the public concern, decolourisation of anaerobically treated POME (AnPOME) is becoming a great concern. Presence of recalcitrant-coloured particles hinders biological processes and coagulation-flocculation may able to remove these

Eco-innovation assessment of biodigesters technology: an application in cassava processing industries in the south of Brazil, Parana state

“…Parana law already requires the installation of biodigesters to treat the effluents generated by agribusiness activities, but this requirement does not yet apply to the capture/sequestration of these gases, in the case of this research, methane gas. It should be noted that effluent from biodigester should be treated prior to its discharge into surface water, as in the study by Zahrim (2018). Second, the BNDES needs to regulate the use of FINAME resources as a source of financing for the acquisition of biodigester technology by other starch and agribusiness sectors.…”
