Aerobic biodegradation of oil and grease in palm oil mill effluent using consortium of microorganisms

The current methods adapted for the treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in most of the palm oil mills are not very effective in treating the pollutants in the POME to the stringent standards required. Furthermore the status and concentration of oil and grease after the treatment processes...
