Membrane Technology for Valuable Resource Recovery from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME): A Review true true /api/journal/10041705 REVIEWED true false 10041705 false 10041705 true 2077-0375 Journal FOREIGN 15 5 138 138 2025 Palm oil mill effluent (POME), a byproduct of palm oil processing, has substantial resource recovery potential. Its rich biodegradable content supports methane (CH4) production via anaerobic digestion, enabling renewable energy generation. Additionally, the significant water content of POME can be reclaimed for use in boiler feed, irrigation, and drinking water. However, selecting appropriate technologies to recover valuable resources from POME is challenging, particularly for the purification and upgrading of biogas. Membrane technologies offer an effective approach for transforming POME treatment from an energy-intensive process into a resource recovery system, supporting the decarbonization of palm oil production and advancing global sustainability objectives. This technique is cost-effective and ecofriendly for biogas purification and water reclamation. For biogas purification and upgrading, membrane systems offer the lowest capital and operational costs at 5.654 USD/m3, compared to other technologies, such as 6.249 USD/m3 for water scrubbers and 6.999 USD/m3 for chemical absorbers. This review primarily explores the potential of membranes for gas purification from POME and examines their integration with other processes to develop advanced systems, such as ultrasonicated membrane anaerobic systems and membrane anaerobic systems, to enhance biogas production. In addition, water reclamation from POME is discussed, with ultrafiltration membranes emerging as the most promising candidates. Proton exchange membranes, such as Nafion, are used extensively in microbial fuel cells to improve electricity generation, and this is also summarized. Finally, challenges and future perspectives are highlighted, emphasizing the broader potential of membrane technology in POME wastewater resource recovery. © 2025 by the authors. 2025 true true true false false GOLD 2025-12-31 false http://www.mdpi.com/journal/membranes 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Q2 false false false false 2025-09-22T07:45:13.843+0000 6 9 0 5 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 126991760 /api/authorship/126991760 1 0.2 true false false Ho Q.N. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 126991761 /api/authorship/126991761 2 0.2 false false false Lau W.J. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 126991762 /api/authorship/126991762 3 0.2 false false false Jaafar J. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 126991763 /api/authorship/126991763 4 0.2 false false false Othman M.H.D. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 126991764 /api/authorship/126991764 5 0.2 false true false Yoshida N. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 29516260 /api/publicationidentifier/29516260 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true IDENTICAL 10.3390/membranes15050138 https://doi.org/10.3390/membranes15050138 false true PublicationIdentifier 30902054 /api/publicationidentifier/30902054 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001496233800001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001496233800001 false true PublicationIdentifier 29516259 /api/publicationidentifier/29516259 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true 105006739873 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-105006739873 false true Keyword 633 /api/keyword/633 true 633 true Keyword 1054436 /api/keyword/1054436 true 1054436 true Keyword 1068948 /api/keyword/1068948 true 1068948 true Keyword 1069064 /api/keyword/1069064 true 1069064 true Keyword 1105608 /api/keyword/1105608 true 1105608 true Keyword 1328145 /api/keyword/1328145 true 1328145 true Keyword 1376672 /api/keyword/1376672 true 1376672 true Keyword 1475070 /api/keyword/1475070 true 1475070 true Keyword 1494219 /api/keyword/1494219 true true Keyword 1658006 /api/keyword/1658006 true true Keyword 1667329 /api/keyword/1667329 true true Keyword 1912115 /api/keyword/1912115 true true Keyword 2283078 /api/keyword/2283078 true true Keyword 2303737 /api/keyword/2303737 true true Keyword 2303756 /api/keyword/2303756 true true Keyword 2559663 /api/keyword/2559663 true true Keyword 2559715 /api/keyword/2559715 true true Keyword 2619053 /api/keyword/2619053 true true Keyword 2743752 /api/keyword/2743752 true true Keyword 3881097 /api/keyword/3881097 true true SjrRating 11564422 /api/sjrrating/11564422 106 0.49 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 1501 /api/classificationexternal/1501 true 1501 true Q2 FROM_LAST_YEAR true true /api/publication/36206839 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Idézőközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-citation-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" >Ho Q.N. </span> ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
