Optimisation of the Aerobic Digestion Process in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Ponds

The palm oil industry in Malaysia is one of the industries that generates a high income. However, the increasing production of palm oil products also means increasing generation of palm oil waste which includes palm oil mill effluent (POME) that is very polluting to the environment due to the high b...
