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.
