Abstract
This study evaluates the furnace heating pre-treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) for biogas production by measuring the amount of biomethane generated with and without pre-treatment using a biochemical methane potential (BMP) test. A pre-treated POME and an untreated POME were tested in a biochemical methane potential (BMP) experiment to assess the biomethane production capability. The methods for performing the biochemical methane potential test and the pre-treatment process of POME using a furnace heating method are also explained in this paper. The findings show that the biomethane volume produced by furnace heated POME is comparable to that produced by untreated POME. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
