| description | The current methods adapted for the treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in most
of the palm oil mills are not very effective in treating the pollutants in the POME to the
stringent standards required. Furthermore the status and concentration of oil and grease
after the treatment processes is given less attention and this suggests that these
approaches employed are not sustainable to minimize the environmental impact of oil and
grease in POME. Moreover, the range of concentration of oil and grease in POME is
relatively higher than those obtained in toxic wastewaters, thus, the need for affective
treatment process for POME. Treating POME through aerobic biodegradation process
with consortia of microorganisms will facilitate effective conversion of the oil and grease
present in POME to environmentally safe biomass thereby rendering the wastewater safe
for effective reuse in the oil palm mills and eventual safe discharge. |
