While the oil palm processing industry generates economic benefits, it also faces significant challenges in wastewater treatment. How to transform highly polluting processing wastewater into reusable resources has become crucial for the industry's sustainable development. Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., through 38+ years of technological innovation, has provided a practical solution to this problem.
The Dual Nature of Oil Palm Processing Wastewater: Pollution Source and Resource Pool
Wastewater generated during oil palm processing contains high concentrations of organic matter, oils, and suspended solids, with extremely high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) values. Direct discharge without treatment will severely damage aquatic ecosystems, leading to eutrophication, aquatic life mortality, and other environmental problems.
However, this seemingly harmful wastewater actually contains immense value:
1. Energy Potential: Each cubic meter of oil palm processing wastewater can produce 18-28 cubic meters of biogas.
2. Nutritional Resources: Rich in essential elements for plant growth such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
3. Reuse Potential: With proper treatment, it can be used for irrigation or industrial reuse.
4. Emission Reduction Value: Effective treatment can reduce pollutant emissions by more than 90%.
