Abstract

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Â is wastewaterÂ processing palm oil from fresh fruit bunches still contains organic compounds that can be used as a source of nutrition for microalgae growth. The aim of this research Â was to determine the effect of pre-treatment of acid on POME used as a nutrition substitution of medium for growth microalgae Scenedesmus dimorphus. Acid pre-treatment using dilute acid which is Â nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Growth medium microalgae Scenedesmus dimorphus using Bold Basal Medium (BBM) and various of concentration pre-treated POME. The results showed that microalgae which were cultured on POME medium Â that has been pretreated had an effect on growth and increase in lipids. The resulting fatty acid methyl ester shows that it can be used as a biodiesel feedstock
