TSS Sedimentation in POME
Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) typically contains about 3% Total Suspended Solids (TSS), which settle at the bottom of young treatment ponds over time. These solids come from organic residues in the milling process and can build up, reducing the pond’s capacity and efficiency. Regular desludging helps keep the treatment system working properly, prevents excessive sludge accumulation, and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
If sludge is not removed, several problems can occur:
-
Less Pond Capacity – Sludge buildup takes up space, reducing how much wastewater the pond can treat.
-
Poor Treatment Performance – Too much sludge can interfere with microbial activity, leading to incomplete waste breakdown and higher pollution levels in discharged water.
Multi-Disc Screw for POME Desludging
Our MDS-514 screw press is designed to overcome these issues. Unlike conventional desludging methods, our system operates continuously, ensuring efficient sludge removal without disrupting pond operations. It also allows for better solid handling, preventing the need to deal with massive sludge volumes. This results in a more efficient, controlled, and cost-effective desludging process.
