Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), a waste byproduct from palm oil production can be utilized as source of energy as well as phosphorous. To determine characteristics of phosphorous production, experiments have been carried out in the temperature range of 500-600°C and in the residence time range of 10-50 s. The reaction pressure was fixed at 25 MPa. A reaction model was developed to determine the rate of reaction of POME. Direct conversion of organic phosphorus to inorganic phosphorus took place at low temperature (500°C). The reaction was faster at higher temperature and longer residence time. All reactions here were of first order, and the developed model fitted well with the experimental data.
