Comparative study of bioreactors used for palm oil mill effluent treatment based on chemical oxygen removal efficiencies

The conventional treatment method for palm oil mill effluents (POME) is predominantly anaerobic system, which involves the use of various bioreactors. Some of these bioreactors have been studied for the treatment of POME at laboratory scale, though few have been applied industrially. Such bioreac...
