Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is well-known for treating biodegradable effluent such as Palm oil Refinery Effluent (PORE). However few studies had been conducted on treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) using SBR. A pilot scale SBR had been installed to evaluate the performance of treating POME. The reactor is capable of treating up to 5 m3 of POME per day depending on the quality of incoming anaerobic liquor. Results obtained from the studies showed that the process could produce very good quality final discharge with BOD value which is consistently well below 50mg/L/ The system could also tolerate fluctuations of organic loads between operation cycles. SBR system therefore offers a promising process for the treatment of POME.
