Pome & Leachate
Algaetech’s Algae Based Waste Water Management System
With our Algae Based Water Treatment System technology, we have involved in Waste Water Treatment for POME and Leachate.
By doing so, Algaetech provides necessary assistance on the technology establishment and facilitate the development of R&D plant for Algae Based Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and Leachate.
The objective of this project is
to treat the POME and Leachate that contain high BOD, COD and suspended solids. 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 harvesting the algae, the purified water can be reused for industrial purposes or for algae cultivation.
The focus of Algaetech will be exclusively on establishing an Algae Based Water Treatment System facility at Palm Oil Mill site with the objectives of:
- Constructing and installing the water polishing system 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.
