Liquid Waste Pond On Palm Oil Mill Stock Photo

The photo shows a large liquid waste pond used for the treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). POME is an oily wastewater generated during the processing of palm oil and consists of various suspended components, including organic matter, solids, and oil. The pond appears to be quite large, with a surface area several times that of a football field. The pond is enclosed by earthen dikes, which help to contain the waste and prevent it from contaminating the surrounding environment.
