the effect of organic loading rate (olr) provided by hydraulic retention time (hrt) and influent chemical oxygen demand (codin) on the performance of an up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (uasff) bioreactor treating palm oil mill effluent (pome) was studied. anaerobic digestion of pome was modeled and analyzed with two variables i.e. hrt and codin. experiments were conducted based on a general...

Residual palm oil that goes into the river untreated can become detrimental to environment. discharge during milling process mill effluent (POME) is unavoidable. About 1 wt% of residual in POME causes major problems mills, terms environment, wastewater treatment and economy losses. This paper reports recovery from by adsorption on polypropylene micro/nanofiber (PP-MNF) desorption hands pressing...

The interaction of a series of synthetic, branched trisaccharides with five D-mannose-specific lectins was studied by precipitation-inhibition assay. The branched methyl alpha-D-mannotrioside, alpha-D-Manp-(1----3)-[alpha-D-Manp-(1----6)]-alpha-D-Man pOMe, the best inhibitor of the Con A-Dextran interaction, was 42 times more potent than alpha-D-ManpOMe, and 3-6 times more potent than the two t...

Codling moth (CM) is a major apple pest. Current manual method of detection not very effective. The development nondestructive monitoring and methods has the potential to reduce postharvest losses from CM infestation. Previous work our group demonstrated effectiveness hyperspectral imaging (HSI) acoustic as suitable techniques for infestation classification in apples. However, both have limitat...

The presence of abundant oil palm residues in Malaysia prompted the need to utilize this waste avoid environmental pollution. Palm mill effluent (POME) is a thick, brownish liquid comprising large amounts solids and high organic content, convertible into valuable source biomass. Based on nutrient content POME, has potential be utilised as an alternative plant nutrients medium different agricult...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is an oily wastewater generated by palm processing mills. Most factories and refineries have their own treatment system such as anaerobic digestion electrocoagulation (EC). In this study, a new method, integrated (EC)-membrane introduced to treat the POME. The efficiency economic feasibility of developed EC-membrane also evaluated comparing with EC standalone syste...

fire blight disease caused by erwinia amylovora is a destructive disease of pome fruits including apple worldwide. use of resistant cultivars is the most efficient method of disease control. in the present research, we investigated genetic resistance of 89 local and imported commercial apple cultivars in natural contaminated conditions to the bacterial disease using beltsville scoring system (u...
