Abstract
The present study seeks to identify the technical feasibility of producing biogas from an
anaerobic digestion process in the treatment of wastewater from the oil palm industry. Through,
the theoretical analysis of biogas production with the use of R software, through the insertion of
physicochemical parameters of the POME extracted from previously conducted and published
research, consulted in the database of the Antonio Nariño University.
By means of this tool, the estimation of biogas is carried out with the help of the
programming package "Biogas Package". Starting from two scenarios: first taking into account
the COD and second the pH in the working influent; through which the behavior of the biogas
generation is shown by changing these variables. It is shown that from the POME it is possible to
obtain biogas with an energy capacity of 5.98 W, of which 1.68 W are available for the
production of electricity (28.1%), with an economic benefit of 87.86 pesos for each liter of
POME treated with anaerobic digestion, which presents an economic benefit and improvement
of the environment of the palm industries.
