油棕鲜果串加工过程中会产生大量的废弃物，特别是棕榈油加工废水。据估计，POME的产量几乎是粗棕榈油产量的三倍。它可以通过生产沼气污染环境，沼气可以通过沼气厂的沼气捕获系统捕获。捕获后，沼气可用于为工厂锅炉提供燃料，发电，燃烧或作为烹饪气体。本研究的目的是根据四种不同的沼气利用方法评估建立油棕沼气厂的经济性。结果表明，在一定条件下，沼气锅炉的经济效益高于其他三种方案。本研究最后总结了一些对沼气项目感兴趣的投资者有影响的问题。
The processing of oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB) primarily for palm oil results in the production of large amount of wastes, particularly in the form of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Production of POME can be estimated at almost three times the quantity of crude palm oil (CPO) produced. It can pollute the environment through the production of biogas which can be captured through a biogas-capturing system in a biogas plant. After capturing, the biogas can be utilised either for fueling the mill boiler, electricity generation, flaring or as cooking gas. This current study was carried out with the objective of assessing the economics of establishing an oil palm biogas plant based on the four different utilisation methods of the biogas. The results indicate that utilising biogas for the boiler gives higher economic returns compared with the other three options, given certain conditions. This study finally concludes with some issues that have an impact on any interested investor in a biogas project.
