Tertiary treatment of biologically treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) using UF membrane system: effect of WMCO and transmembrane pressure

This study evaluate the performance of ultrafiltration UF membrane system in the treatment of biologically treated palm oil mill effluent (POME) by varying the effects of transmembrane pressure and using different molecular weight cut-off (MWCO). Flat sheet polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration mem...
