Study on mechanical pretreatment process of palm oil mill effluent (POME)

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been identified as one of the major sources of aquatic pollution in Malaysia. Due to its high strength and economic importance with more than 330 palm oil mills in operation, Malaysia produces about 10.6 million tones of crude palm oil annually, accounting for 47% o...
