Optimization of operating parameters in microbial consortium (AB-101) preparation and application in palm oil mill effluent (POME) primary treatment

Polluting characteristics of palm oil mill effluent (POME) urge palm oil mills to implement numerous technologies to further treat POME after the primary treatment system to comply the effluent discharge standard limit posed by Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia. However, microbial consortium...

However, microbial consortium (AB-101), a dark-brown liquid fermented product of various type of fruits and plants was introduced to improve the conventional biological treatment process in order to comply the standard without tertiary treatment.

Therefore, the purpose of this research is to evaluate and optimize the operating parameters in microbial consortium (AB-101) application, such as; (i) volume percentage of AB-101 in bio-activator preparation process; (ii) volume percentage of molasses in bio-activator preparation process molasses; and (iii) dosage of the bio-activator. The optimization of these operating parameters is conducted via Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Meanwhile the evaluation and comparison of AB-101 performance under original and optimized operating parameters are based on physico-chemical characteristics of treated POME.

These optimum operating parameters resulted in the following POME characteristics reduction percentage: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) = 92.9%, chemical oxygen demand (COD) = 65.3%, total suspended solid (TSS) = 93.4% and oil and grease = 95.5%. 2022-03 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/8283/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/8283/1/24p%20MUHAMMAD%20ADIB%20ABIDI.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/8283/2/MUHAMMAD%20ADIB%20ABIDI%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/8283/3/MUHAMMAD%20ADIB%20ABIDI%20WATERMARK.pdf text en validuser mphil masters Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Fakulti Teknologi Kejuruteraan
