Treatment of palm oil mill effluent using microorganisms

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is produced in large volumes by many of the palm oil mills in Malaysia and poses a major source of pollution. POME contains large quantities of organic matter in the form of total solids that contribute to high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen deman...

POME contains large quantities of organic matter in the form of total solids that contribute to high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater if left untreated.

Sample of the POME were analyzed at 24 intervals for BOD, COD and total suspended solids (TS).The result showed that the mix culture of Trichoderma harzianum and Penicillium gave better reduction of COD, and TSS with a value of 87.5% and 28.9%, respectively as compared to Trichoderma harzianum in which the value for reduction of COD and TSS is 85.2% and 27.2%, respectively at day 5 of the treatment.
