Sistem Kultur Semikontinu Dalam Produksi Lipid Dan Penyisihan Cod Menggunakan Konsorsium Mikroalga Dari Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome)
Energy use mostly comes from non-renewable energy sources that gradually
decreased. Biofuel production from microalgae consortium can be one of the
alternative energies in producing renewable energy. Lipid content in the biomass
of a microalgae consortium can be converted into biofuel raw materials. The
organic material contained in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) can be a nutrient
source for microalgae growth along with COD removal in wastewater. The
microalgae consortium used is from POME and cultivated with the replacement
of wastewater. Biomass productivity and lipid content will increase after the
replacement as an addition of nutrients to the culture medium. The aim of this
research to determine the growth rate microalgae consortium, lipid content that
produced, and efficiency of COD removal in POME. The research was conducted
in semicontinuous system by replacing half volume of culture with fresh POME in
period every 3 days, 4 days, and 6 days for 12 days of cultivation. The result
showed the best cultivation conditions was every 6 days replacement period which
cell density 1,01 x 107 cells/ml, spesific growth rate 0,212/day, lipid content
19,33%, and efficiency of COD removal 81,25%.
