What wastes will palm oil processing plant produce?
Palm oil processing plant refers to a factory that processes palm fruit and extracts palm oil. In this process, a variety of wastes will be produced, mainly including solid wastes, liquid wastes and gas wastes.
The first is solid wastes. Palm oil processing plant will produce a lot of solid waste residues, including shells, pulp residues, nut residues and so on. These solid wastes contain a certain amount of oil and protein, which will pollute the environment if they are not treated properly. Therefore, palm oil processing plant needs to take corresponding measures to treat and utilize solid wastes, such as generating electricity from biomass and making organic fertilizer.
Followed by liquid wastes. In the process of palm oil processing, a large amount of sewage will be produced, which contains harmful substances such as oil, protein and organic acids. If these sewage are directly discharged, it will cause serious pollution to the water body and affect the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, palm oil processing plant needs to establish a sewage treatment system to pretreat, precipitate and filter the sewage, so as to remove or reduce the harmful substances in it to the discharge standard, so as to protect the environment and water resources.
Finally, gas wastes. During the processing of palm oil, a certain amount of odorous gas waste, including hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, will be produced. If these gases are directly discharged, it will affect the surrounding air quality and ecological environment. Therefore, palm oil processing plant needs to take effective gas treatment measures, such as using absorbent for gas purification, installing flue gas treatment equipment, etc., to purify or convert harmful gases into harmless substances and then discharge them to reduce the impact on the environment.
To sum up, palm oil processing plant will produce solid wastes, liquid wastes and gas wastes in the production process, which will have a serious impact on the environment if they are not properly treated and utilized. Therefore, palm oil processing plant needs to establish a perfect waste treatment system and take effective measures for resource utilization and environmental protection in order to achieve sustainable development and green production.
