Process optimization of biogas production from palm oil mill effluent: a case study of a crude palm oil factory in Muaro Jambi, Indonesia

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is a liquid waste of oil palm factory that pollutes the environment but is very useful as a raw material for producing biogas. POME processing has advantages to meet environmental requirements and to produce commercialized products. Although there are already enough...
