Chemical precipitation of palm oil mill effluent (POME)

An alternative method of treating the palm oil mill effluent (POME) within a short period without involving a vast land area is coagulation and flocculation. The four different types of coagulant combinations are aluminium sulphate, ferric chloride, ferric sulphate and ammonium sulphate with commerc...
