Evaluation of membrane anaerobic system (MAS) for palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment

Evaluation of membrane anaerobic system (MAS) for palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment

The direct discharge of Palm Oil Mill Effluent(POME)into river causes serious environmental pollutions due to its high content of organic matter which causes depletion of oxygen in water bodies.The conventional anaerobic POME treatment by using anaerobic ponding system requires longer Hydraulic Rete...
