Processing technology POME-pond in Indonesia: A mini review

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the process of POME-Pond technology in Indonesia and its utilization for sustainable waste management. Indonesia is the largest producer and exporter of palm oil. Liquid waste in the form of POME produced is a waste that is highly polluting the environment and can be a major problem for the surrounding environment if not treated properly before disposal in accordance with standard waste quality standards. Driven by the need to find renewable energy sources, many technologies are being developed to process POME into biofuels. To further develop this technology, it is important to understand the stage of development of POME processing technology and the challenges that must be handled currently. (paper)
