“…The key element is plant selection prior to proceeding with the implementation of remediation techniques. The suitable properties were high nutrients uptake, as well as heavy metals uptake in the wastewater [43]. Phytoremediation of POME using Typha latifolia was effective in reducing the COD concentration up to 97.18% [44].…”

Ponding system or land application techniques are widely used at industrial scale to treat palm oil mill effluent (POME) prior to discharge to the environment. POME is considered as one of the major problems that has generated voluminously from the palm oil industries. The main purpose of this article is to organize the scattered available information on various aspects and a wide range of promising current POME treatments including biological microorganisms, physicochemical methods of coagulation, and membrane and thermochemical process. In addition, the integrated system of anaerobic-aerobic bioreactor (IAAB), which has been touted as highly efficient with easy control at acceptable temperature range and shorter treatment time, has potential to be exploited for POME treatment. The main influencing factors for IAAB POME treatment are highlighted as outstanding characteristics for challenges and future prospects.

“…Phytoremediation technology has been widely used to treat various industrial wastes but not much for POME. There are studies utilizing floating plants or duckweeds to treat POME, due to the fact that the properties of the floating plants themselves are easy to multiply and efficient to treat pollutants [14]. In addition, Eichhornia crassipes can also reduce COD up to 33-45% in POME after 6 days of study [15].…”

The phytotoxicity of Azolla pinnata and Lemna minor was assessed when exposed To Treated Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for their survival and growth tolerance in a 5-day exposure conducted in an open laboratory at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. A total of 34 100 mL-containers were used, with three replicates for each concentration, including plant less control and plant control. 50 mL of treated POME in different concentrations (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) was filled in each container and exposed to 3 g Azolla pinnata or Lemna minor with observation conducted daily. After two days of exposure, 40% of A. pinnata died in 100% concentration and almost 100% died after 5 days of exposure for all concentrations. On L. minor, only 5% mortality was observed for 100% concentration on the fourth day and remained healthy until the end of five days. At the end of 5-day phytotoxicity exposure, the highest removals were 63.0%, 70.5%, 51.0%, 65.4% and 53.8% respectively for COD, BOD, Ammonia, Phosphate And Nitrates by A. pinnata, while the maximum removals recorded by L. minor were 61.0%, 54.0%, 9.8%, 61.4% and 31.6% respectively, giving evidence that A. pinnata is more effective in removing pollutants than L. minor although its survival in the treated POME is lesser than L. minor.
