Jan 1, 2019 · Four groups of waste generated from the agricultural, forest, municipal, and industrial sectors are discussed. Corncob, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB), rice husk, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, and wheat straw were selected to represent solid wastes from the agricultural sector. The production of corncob, OPEFB, rice husk, rice straw, and
Feb 25, 2010 · Composting is a microbial technology that is frequently used to stabilize various types of industrial wastes such as sludge from pulp and paper mill, sugar, oleochemical, pig rearing, olive milling etc. Composting is attractive since it can reduce the volume/weight of sludge (Abd-Rahman et al. 2003).
Mar 7, 2020 · Abstract Large amounts of palm oil consumption in Malaysia leads to large amounts of by-products such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) requiring disposal. Limited treatment for these waste products has resulted in interest to use EFB + POME in composting when mixed with different biomass sources for nutrient enhancement. This work is aimed at enhancing the
Mar 12, 2021 · The palm oil industry is essentially ideal for the availability of abundant biomass resources, where the multifaceted residues are vital for energy production through the conversion of biomass waste into value-added products simultaneously. This article discusses the utilisation of palm oil and its residues in the energy and transportation sector.
The palm oil production process in mills consists of several unit operations. The processing of fresh fruit bunches of oil palm results in the generation of different types of residue. Among the waste generated, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most harmful waste for the environment if discharged untreated.
Abstract. Oil palm industry generates a large quantity of residues and wastes in the form of empty fruit bunch, palm kernel shells, trunk of the plant, fibre, leaves and others. When palm oil is extracted and processed, it also produces effluents with high organic matter, suspended matter and oil and grease.

Feb 4, 2021 · Palm oil production has increased rapidly since the 1960s. Between 1970 and 2020, the world’s production of palm oil increased by about 40 times. Global production went from only 2 million tonnes to around 80 million tonnes. The change in global production is shown in the chart. 3.
Jan 1, 2022 · Each hectare of a palm-oil crop emits 50–70 tons of biomass waste ( Shuit et al., 2009 ). The waste is made up of OPTs, OPFs, EFBs, mesocarp fruit fiber (MF), PKSs, and POME. Except for POME, all of these wastes are high in fiber. OPFs could be harvested from palm-oil plants year-round due to the practice of pruning.

Here we evaluate the BR (25%, 50% and 75%) batch composting with raw palm oil mill waste (POMW) and palm oil compost (POC). The pH, EC, total N and organic carbon, C:N ratio, water holding capacity (WHC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), granulometry and elemental composition were determined after 90 days of composting.
Jan 1, 2012 · The objectives of this literature review are (1) to discuss the role of filamentous fungi used for composting in agro-industrial wastes, (2) to introduce oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFBs) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) as the potential raw materials for composting and (3) to review the composting process of these materials with microbial
Dec 1, 2021 · Among the oil palm biomass produced by the Malaysian oil palm industry, empty fruit bunches (EFB) comprise 20–22 percent of the solid by-products generated during palm oil production, making it the most notable waste produced by this colossal industry (Tahir et al., 2019, Han and Kim, 2018, Loh, 2017). Such oil palm waste production has
