THE PROJECT
A small PALM oil refinery was requiring a biological process for the treatment of their effluent generated at the premises.
THE PROBLEM
Due to the scarcity of available land, space restrictions were a factor in providing the desired results for the treatment plant’s effluent. The client required a compact solution which could be housed within available space.
THE SOLUTION – Palm oil mill effluent treatment
Based upon on-site pilot trials, a compact plant was offered to the client with the following treatment characteristics:
- Equalization Tank
- DAF
- LEVAPOR IFAS Reactor
- Secondary Clarifier
THE RESULTS
The plant is consistently delivering outlet COD of < 50 ppm under all operation conditions of the plant.
THE BENEFITS
The project offered following benefits to the client.
- Smaller foot print
- Lower sludge production
- Better COD values at the outlet with potential for reuse and recycle at economical cost.
