Phytoremediation Potential of Vetiver System Technology for Improving the Quality of Palm Oil Mill Effluent

Palm oil mill effluent (POME), a pollutant produced by the palm oil industry, was treated by the Vetiver system technology (VST). This technology was applied for the first time to treat POME in order to decrease biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). In this study, two dif...
