The new stringent discharge standards of 20ppm BOD for the palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the latest measure by the government to regulate the pollution caused by the industry and to silent the critics of the palm oil industry. However, the palm oil millers have found it hard to consistently reach this new discharge standard. In view of this, Ronser and Shanghai Jiao Tong University designed and built a treatment system that seeks to overcome the lack of consistency in achieving a POME discharge of BOD 20ppm. In the Ronser’s BOD 20ppm system, the influent is taken from the existing final discharged pond.

On the other hand, Ronser’s POME Zero Discharge system treats the raw POME to clean water while recovering valuable minerals and biogas in the process. Ronser will be able to come up with customized designs for our customers depending on their different needs and requirements. Ronser’s POME treatment system has been endorsed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB).
