JPP has enzymes that can degrade lignin, ie: laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase. These enzymes are a very strong oxidant. This enzyme can break down lignin. As we know that lignin is a very complex macromolecules and very strong protector. Lignin are a protective compound, which is very strong and very resistant.
This unique ability of WRF could be use for many proposes. For examples, WRF used to degrade organic matter that high lignin content, lignocellulose biomass. Recently, WRF are developed for biopulping, biobleaching, and degrade pollutants.


Some time ago I visited one of the oil palm plantation in Palembang. Area of palm oil palm plantations is not too large, approximately 8000 ha (core plantation) and 40,000 ha (plasma). Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) harvested from the plantation is then processed in the palm oil mill near at one end of the garden. Factory processing capacity currently approximately 50 tons of FFB / hour. From the processing of FFB produced CPO (crude palm oil), waste OPEFB (oil palm empty bunches), and liquid waste. OPEFB waste volume large enough, in one day can reach 150 tons.
