Abstract

Physico-chemical properties of Palm oil mill effluent (POME) were reduced by integrating physical, chemical and biological treatments to produce high quality effluent that can be discharged into the environment without causing any trepidation. This treatment technique recorded significant percentage reduction at each stage in all the measured parameters and the percentage reduction of all the measured parameters increased from stage1 to stage 4 except nitrate-nitrogen concentration that decreased from stage 3 to stage 4. The average values of Temp (0oC), TS, BOD, COD, NO3-N, Cl, K, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mg in mg/L of the raw POME are 36.00, 84.34, 72.10, 96.66, 32.34, 120.00, 14.45, 8.14, 68.80, 13.30 and 12.43 while the percentage reduction values at the last stage of treatment are18.6%, 91.7%, 93.3%, 89.3%, 85.8%, 82.5%, 77.9%, 77.3%, 94.3%, 90.8% and 85.9% respectively. At the end of the analysis, the concentrations of the parameters after treatment were in conformity with the minimum acceptable standards of FEPA and WHO.
