An up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (UASFF) bioreactor was used to treat physically and chemically pre-treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) under different operating conditions. In physical pre-treatment, POME was pre-settled for 2 h and the supernatant was fed to the reactor. In chemical pre-tr...
