CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Generally‚ Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which can pollute the environment ecosystem if it is not treated properly. The characteristics of fresh POME are that it is highly viscous liquid‚ brownish in colour and discharged at a temperature of 80-90oC. Moreover‚ POME is extremely poisonous with a very low pH between 3.5 and 4.2‚ high chemical and biological oxygen demand

Biogas Plant The Bio-Gas Plant produces gas from the raw materials of human excreta and cowdung. The residue obtained from the plant is used as the food of fish. It is a system to process livestock wastes into safe‚ high-quality‚ efficient organic fertilizer without exhausting greenhouse gases into the air. These gas plants also contribute to safe-keeping and clean environment by preventing bad odor and contamination of the underground. Furthermore‚ they are capable of generating electric power

First phase of GAP it has generated considerable interest and set the scene for evolving a national approach towards replicating this program for the other polluted rivers of the country. * New technology of sewage treatment like Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and sewage treatment through afforestation has been successfully developed. * Rehabilitation of soft-shelled turtles for pollution abatement of river have been demonstrated and found useful. * Resource recovery options like

The degradation of cholesterol by Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 10590 under aerobic conditions. 1. R W Owen‚ 2. A N Mason and 3. R F Bilton ABSTRACT The metabolic pathway of cholesterol degradation by bacteria has not been completely established. Several possible intermediates have not been identified and many pathway delineations have not involved the use of the cholesterol molecule per se and just one bacterial species. The bacterial degradation of cholesterol by Pseudomonas sp. NCIB

Another method of bioconversion is a process called‚ anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a type of bioconversion that although is uses a methane digester‚ it varies because the

As no chemical were added during the oil extraction process‚ it is identified as a major source of aquatic pollution by depleting dissolved oxygen when discharge untreated into the water bodies even if its major behavior is non toxic. Anaerobic digestion is widely accepted as an effective method for the treatment of POME. It could hardly produce effluents that comply with
