Nov 10, 2022 · The results showed that palm oil waste was optimally treated by composting, which is considered as a sustainable technology for protecting the environment, human safety, and economic value. The In tank method with a controlled composting chamber is the best system with a minimum time of 14 days.
Temperature plays a crucial role in industrial composting, as it influences the activity of microorganisms and the rate of decomposition. Composting piles or vessels are monitored closely to ensure that temperatures remain within the optimal range for microbial activity (usually between 120°F to 160°F or 49°C to 71°C).
Composting must also be considered in terms of net energy balance when compared to other waste management options [21]. 2.3 Waste management and composting in the life cycle of palm oil Besides the land use change impact, the main sources of environmental impact from palm oil production on mineral soils are the treatment of Palm Oil Mill
