Development of semi-fluidized bed bioreactor as novel bioreactor system for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME)

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a high strength organic wastewater, which adversely affects the aquatic life as well as the human life directly or indirectly. This has attracted concern due to the rapid expansion of the oil palm industries in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, which currentl...
