Economic scenario of cellulase enzyme production using Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)

Economic scenario of cellulase enzyme production using Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)

This paper presents an analysis on the economic suitability of a large scale plant for the production of cellulase enzyme from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). Based on the data and other relevant information gathered from indigenous operation of a lab and a pilot scale bio-reactors (30L and 300L capa...
