Algaetech’s Algae Based Water Management System

 

With the technology that available to us, we have involved in Waste Water Treatment for POME and Leachate where Algaetech’s Algae Based Water Treatment System is being used to grow algae using Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and composting Leachate. By doing so, Algaetech provide necessary assistance on the technology establishment and facilitate in the development of a small scale R&D plant as pilot for Algae Based Water Treatment System as a basis for further expansion and collaboration in the future for growing of algae using Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and composting Leachate.

 

The objective of this project is to treat the POME and Leachate that contain high BOD, COD and suspended solids so; clean water will be discharged into water bodies. Open ponds system and Photo-bioreactor technology is being used to cultivate microalgae and this provides excellent perspectives for renewable energy production and as a source of ‘green’ products. Lower quality water such as from POME and Leachate can be used for growing algae. Algae effectively remove nitrogen and phosphate from these streams, which leads to a reduction of water treatment costs. After separation of algae, the purified water can be reused for industrial purposes and the algae can be harvested. Algaetech will focus exclusively on establishing an Algae Based Water Treatment System facility at Palm Oil Mill site. The objectives are:

 

  • Construct and install the water polishing for effluent treatment and beneficiation;
  • Culture value added algae strain to optimize production of biomass as feedstock for renewable energy and determining the capacity and sustainability of output;
  • Carry out carbon mass balance analysis and determine the potential carbon credits accruing by implementing an Algae Based Water Treatment System;
  • Polish effluent for discharge and utilization of methane as a renewable energy source;
  • Treat the waste water that is being discharged from the Palm Oil Mill factory;
  • Reduce and dispose the ammonia and toxic inside the waste;
  • Create an overall saving for POME & Lechate management cost of at least 10 – 20% after a few months of operation;
  • Make best endeavor to ensure successful application of the Algae Based Water Treatment System and its technology for the project;
  • Cultivation of suitable micro algae using POME and composting Leachate.
