Chemical treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) from aerated pond

The production of palm oil results in the generation of huge quantities of polluting wastewater commonly known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). POME is a thick brownish liquid that contains high amount of total solids, oil and grease, chemical oxidation demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)...

Industrial wastes The production of palm oil results in the generation of huge quantities of polluting wastewater commonly known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). POME is a thick brownish liquid that contains high amount of total solids, oil and grease, chemical oxidation demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and if not properly treated, can disrupt the natural ecosystem and pose a serious threat to human health. However, with the stringent regulations on discharge of waste into the environment, there is need to retrofit the existing biological system by adding tertiary treatment in form of coagulation to remove contaminants in order to meet the current discharge regulations.

Polyacrylamide was used as coagulant aid and its optimum dose was also determined.
