Abstract
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is characterized by high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) content. Anaerobic digestion pond is a very sustainable form of processing because it does not release methane gas into the air, potent greenhouse gas. Proper pretreatment strategies are necessary to handle recalcitrant materials. Nutritional addition methods and digester configurations have been developed to produce and capture as much methane gas as possible to reduce impurities. Organic loading rate (OLR) is one of the key parameters that must be maintained high to ensure the biogas production's continuity and stability. Various operating conditions, especially the feed and pond temperatures, affect the OLR and removal of organics. Biogas purification is aimed to remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, hence, increasing the methane concentration.
