Assessment of Anaerobic Bioreactors with Different Sizes of Powdered Activated Carbon and Hybrid Membrane in Treating Palm Oil Mill Effluent.

In this study, different sizes of powder activated carbon (PAC) was added into four identical anaerobic bioreactors (AnMBRs) to investigate their effects on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, natural organic matters (NOM) removal, mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS), mixed liquor volatile suspend...
