The principle of maximum entropy (POME) developed in communication and information sciences has recently been found to have wide ranging applications in hydrology and water resources. This paper surveys some of these applications with particular reference to (1) derivation of frequency distributions, (2) parameter estimation, (3) evaluation of data acquisition systems, (4) derivation of functio...

The discharge of palm oil mill effluent (POME) without effective treatment is highly toxic to the environment and receiving waters due its high chemical oxygen demand , biochemical increased levels suspended solids. ponding system regarded as a conventional method for POME but requires long retention time extensive areas. Other processes, such physicochemical treatment, have also been applied t...

The direct discharge of palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater causes serious environmental pollution due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Traditional ways for POME treatment have both economical and environmental disadvantages. In this study, a membrane anaerobic system (MAS) was used as an alternative, cost effective method for treating POME. Six...

High amount of turbidity was identified as one the important factor affecting successful cultivation microalgae in palm oil mill effluent (POME). In this study, Chlorella sorokiniana cultivated POME, under different dilutions 80, 60, 40 and 20% (v/v) with distilled water. The aim study is to investigate effect POME on specific growth rate microalgae. results found that, C. grew both sterilized ...

Palm oil industries have been contributing significantly towards the country’s economy and increase standard of living among Malaysians. However, it has also been identified as the major contributor for discharging the largest pollution load throughout the country. Owing to high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), the palm oil mill effluent (POME) cannot be dischar...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been identified as one of the major sources of aquatic pollution in Malaysia. due to its high strength and economic importance. With more than 330 palm oil mills in operation, Malaysia produces some 10.6 million tonnes of crude palm oil annually, accounting for 52% of the total world production, and concomitantly generates some 27 x 10 m POME. To meet with the ...
