Integrated palm oil mill effluent treatment and CO2 sequestration by microalgae

Malaysian economy relies on palm oil industries as a driver for rural development. However, palm oil mill effluent (POME) that is generated from palm oil processing stages causes major environmental challenges. Before being released to the environment, POME treatment is crucial to comply with standa...
