Most of the slaughterhouses in the state of Kerala (India) do not have proper and effective effluent treatment facilities. Collection of blood and separation of manure to reduce the very high organic load of the effluent are also not practiced. As a result, large volumes of extremely complex effluents with high content of fat, grease, and protein are discharged into land or water bodies causing...

The biggest agricultural sector that contributes to the Malaysian economy is the oil palm industry. The effluent generated during the production of crude palm oil known as palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME undergoes anaerobic treatment that requires long retention time and produces large amount of methane that consequently contributes to global warming. In this study, an isolated bacteria was...

Microorganisms possess enormous highly specific metabolic activities, which enable them to utilize and transform nearly every known chemical class present in crude oil. In this context, one of the most studied biocatalytic processes is the biodesulfurization (BDS) of thiophenic sulfur-containing compounds such as benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) in crude oils and refinery streams....

abstract aims: health, safety and environment is an integrated and convergence system and also a synergistic arrangement of human resources, facilities and equipment. this study aimed to determine the relationship of safety climate and perception of risk with the awareness level of hse management system among oil refineries employees. instrument & methods: this cross-sectional study was perform...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME), wastewater discharged from the palm refinery industry, is classified as an environmental pollutant. In this work, a heterogeneous catalytic process for biojet fuel or green kerosene production was investigated. The enzymatic hydrolysis of POME firstly performed in order to obtain hydrolysed (HPOME) rich free fatty acid (FFA) content. variations water content (30 5...
