Efficient hybrid membrane system in palm oil mill effluent (POME) quality improvement for water reuse

This study evaluates the performance of ultrafiltration (UF) membrane system in the treatment of biologically treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) coupled with the use of coagulants as pretreatment to reduce turbidity that is associated with the effluent. Series of batch coagulation and flocculatio...
