Evaluation of palm oil sludge treatment by thermophilic anaerobic digestion
A laboratory study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of using a thermophilic anaerobic digestIon process to treat palm oil mill wastes. Raw wastewater contained 67,000 mg/l COD, 31,800 mg/l suspended solids with a pH of 4.5. Completely mixed reactors were operated to evaluate the effects o...
