Volume Reduction And Water Recovery Of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Using Membrane Distillation

The palm oil mills are well-known for producing huge amounts of polluting effluent. Raw POME is acidic, has high temperature, suspended solid and most important, high organic biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). If it is not properly treated, it could pose environmental burden. To overcome this problem,...
