Removal of organics from treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) using powdered activated carbon (PAC)

In 2011, Malaysia produced more than 16 million tonne of crude palm oil (CPO) with almost 93 million tonne of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed. This large amount of FFB processed required very huge amount of water for crude oil extraction which later produced millions tonne of wastewater as palm...
