A Study on Zeolite Performance in Waste Treating Ponds for Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent.

Oil palm currently occupies the largest acreage of farm land in Malaysia. In 2011, the production of palm oil in Malaysia was recorded as 19.8 million tons which has led to a huge amount of wastewater known as palm oil mill effluent (POME). This work focuses on the ponding system which acts as w...
