Biodegradation of oil and grease in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor for palm oil mill effluent treatment
The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor is a system in which substrate passes first through an expanded sludge bed containing a high concentration of biomass. The sludge in the reactor may exist in granular or flocculent form. Most of the substrate removal takes place in sludge bed and th...

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor is a system in which substrate passes first through an expanded sludge bed containing a high concentration of biomass. The sludge in the reactor may exist in granular or flocculent form. Most of the substrate removal takes place in sludge bed and the remaining portion of the substrate passes through a less dense biomass, sludge blanket. UASB reactor is one of the innovative high rate anaerobic digester that able to biodegrade the oil and grease (O&G) in palm oil mill effluent (POME). This study aimed to evaluate the biodegradation of O&G in raw POME using UASB. The objectives of this study were to determine the O&G biodegradation and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies for the treatment of POME using UASB and evaluate the UASB’s performance in relation to various control variables.
