Changes in the quality of palm oil mill effluent (POME) under aerobic treatment

Malaysia is a rapid growing country. The economy of Malaysia is mostly depends on production of palm oil. However, the production of crude palm oil will also give side effect which is the Palm oil mill effluent (POME). This type of product can pollute our environment. Therefore, the palm oil mill...
