Treatment of palm oil mill effluent using biological sequencing batch reactor system
Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is known to cause serious environmental hazards due to its high biochemical (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) if disposed without proper treatment. Moreover, the processing of palm fruit causes POME to have fibre and husk resulting in high level of total suspended...

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is known to cause serious environmental hazards due to its high biochemical (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) if disposed without proper treatment. Moreover, the processing of palm fruit causes POME to have fibre and husk resulting in high level of total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity. This work focused to further treat effluent from the anaerobic pond of a nearby palm oil mill using biological sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system. The biological treatment was conducted in six phases using the SBR system where phase 1 had 10 days sludge age and 30 minutes settling time.
