“…The industry produces very large amount of high-COD effluent (called palm oil mill effluent or, in short, POME). If not sufficiently utilized or treated, it will create unbearable, hazardous environmental problems thus requires appropriate and comprehensive management approach [1]. Fortunately, POME has become very valuable as an abundant source of biogas for electrical generation by anaerobic digestion.…”

“…The concentration of the effluent can vary from low (as in washing water of sugar and dairy plants) to high (such as in effluents from the production of cheese, wine, and oil), mainly regarding proteins, organic matter, aromatic compounds, acids, existing nutrients, etc. [105]. Efremenko et al [106] reported that salts (10%), proteins (0.5%), fats (3.8%), and carbohydrates (1.2%), are the major components of the effluents from food industries.…”

Abstract:The establishment of a bioeconomy era requires not only a change of production pattern, but also a deep modernization of the production processes through the implementation of novel methodologies in current industrial units, where waste materials and byproducts can be utilized as starting materials in the production of commodities such as biofuels and other high added value chemicals. The utilization of renewable raw resources and residues from the agro-industries, and their exploitation through various uses and applications through technologies, particularly solid-state fermentation (SSF), are the main focus of this review. The advocacy for biocatalysis in green chemistry and the environmental benefits of bioproduction are very clear, although this kind of industrial process is still an exception and not the rule. Potential and industrial products, such as biocatalysts, animal feed, fermentation medium, biofuels (biodiesel, lignocelulose ethanol, CH 4 , and H 2 ), pharmaceuticals and chemicals are dealt with in this paper. The focus is the utilization of renewable resources and the important role of enzymatic process to support a sustainable green chemical industry.

“…Rapid agro-industrial expansion in both developed and developing countries are major contributors of environmental pollution worldwide (Rajagopal et al 2013). Increased industrial activities, particularly in developing countries led to pollution stress on surface water, due to the discharging of large quantities of wastewater without adequate treatment techniques.…”

Agro-industrial wastewaters are known by high strength of organic pollutants that cause an adverse effect on the water bodies. Wastewater management becomes a major task, leads environmental regulations to be stricter worldwide. Increased disposal of untreated/partially treated industrial wastewaters are major environmental problems in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, industries most commonly dispose their untreated wastewater straight into the nearby rivers. Somewhat, constructed wetlands are used by some industries for treatment of wastewaters. The objective of this review paper was to summarize the characteristics and recent research efforts done on anaerobic treatment of some selected agro-industrial wastewaters and innovative technologies used for cogeneration of byproducts. Many developed countries designed cost effective approaches for agro-industrial wastewater management. The fullscale anaerobic treatment system in China generates 40,000 m 3 biogas daily for 20,000 households from agro-industrial wastes. Likewise, the Brewery, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia used full-scale anaerobic treatment technology and produce average methane yield of 487 Nm 3 /day. The estimated maximum methane production potential of Kera, Luna slaughterhouses, and Ada milk factory were 4.5599LCH 4 , 0.1878LCH 4 , and 0.9952LCH 4 , respectively. These indicate that they can be potential sources of biogas production. Limitations of the brewery are burning of the produced energy and some quantified parameters being become above national standards while meat processing and diary industries are discharging their wastewater without treatment into the rivers. We devised the brewery to use the produced energy properly and extend its treatment to achieve the national standards using integrated sequencing batch reactor. Similarly, slaughterhouse and diary industries should install anaerobic-aerobic integrated treatment techniques.
