Ultrasonic assisted membrane anaerobic system (UMAS)

The direct discharge of Palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater causes serious environmental pollution due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Traditional ways for POME treatment have both economical and environmental disadvant...
