Dec 1, 2021 · Among the oil palm biomass produced by the Malaysian oil palm industry, empty fruit bunches (EFB) comprise 20–22 percent of the solid by-products generated during palm oil production, making it the most notable waste produced by this colossal industry (Tahir et al., 2019, Han and Kim, 2018, Loh, 2017). Such oil palm waste production has
Nov 27, 2023 · Composting is a natural process of decomposition of organic matter that occurs by the action of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and actinobacteria. The actinobacteria are present throughout the process due to their resistance to different environmental conditions. They are Gram-positive, filamentous bacteria with a high capacity for producing secondary metabolites of biotechnological
Abstract Large amounts of palm oil consumption in Malaysia leads to large amounts of by-products such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) requiring disposal. Limited treatment for these waste products has resulted in interest to use EFB + POME in composting when mixed with different biomass sources for nutrient enhancement. This work is aimed at enhancing the

The objectives of this literature review are (1) to discuss the role of filamentous fungi used for composting in agro-industrial wastes, (2) to introduce oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFBs) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) as the potential raw materials for composting and (3) to review the composting process of these materials with microbial
Here we evaluate the BR (25%, 50% and 75%) batch composting with raw palm oil mill waste (POMW) and palm oil compost (POC). The pH, EC, total N and organic carbon, C:N ratio, water holding capacity (WHC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), granulometry and elemental composition were determined after 90 days of composting.
