Technologies have been developed to reduce CO2 emissions, including CO2 bio-fixation by microalgae. This study evaluates carbon reduction by integrating milk factory wastewater treatment with microalgal biomass production, including its sustainability aspects through life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA). The microalgae species used were a consortium of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. Five levels of carbon dioxide were provided to microalgae cultures: 0%, 5.5%, 6.2%, 8.1%, and 10.3%. Observed variables included CO2 uptake, absorption efficiency, and microalgal biomass production. The results showed that the CO2 sequestration efficiency by indigenous microalgae reached 0%, 9.2%, 98.8%, 96.2%, and 93.2% with average CO2 level loadings of 0%, 5.2%, 6.2%, 8.1%, and 10.3%, respectively. Chlorella sp. exhibited greater tolerance to high levels of CO2 concentration than Scenedesmus sp. TEA analysis revealed that CO2 bio-fixation and wastewater utilization significantly increased microalgal biomass production while also reducing environmental pollution. Furthermore, LCA indicated that the initial biomass production method (scenarios 1 and 2) had a higher environmental impact than the advanced method using wastewater treatment (scenarios 3 and 4). In conclusion, coupling microalgaebased wastewater treatment with CO2 bio-fixation offers promise for CO2 mitigation, enhanced biomass production, and reduced operational costs.

Ponding system or land application techniques are widely used at industrial scale to treat palm oil mill effluent (POME) prior to discharge to the environment. POME is considered as one of the major problems that has generated voluminously from the palm oil industries. The main purpose of this article is to organize the scattered available information on various aspects and a wide range of promising current POME treatments including biological microorganisms, physicochemical methods of coagulation, and membrane and thermochemical process. In addition, the integrated system of anaerobic-aerobic bioreactor (IAAB), which has been touted as highly efficient with easy control at acceptable temperature range and shorter treatment time, has potential to be exploited for POME treatment. The main influencing factors for IAAB POME treatment are highlighted as outstanding characteristics for challenges and future prospects.
