Effluent TreatmentPalm oil mill effluents are treated biologically in a series of ponds for anaerobic and facultative digestionbefore discharge for land application. In some mills digested effluent is further treated using aerobic systemsto prepare the effluent to meet the standards for watercourse discharge. Routine intensive monitoring of
effluent quality is carried out to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
