More Information
Summary:Pollution prevention approaches are being adopted by more and more mills. Digested POME increasingly is being used successfully as a fertilizer/soil conditioner, resulting in significant savings in imported fertilizers. Studies also have shown that energy can be obtained from biogas generated from anaerobic digestion of POME; in fact, electricity from POME has become a reality. These technological developments and the increasing awareness of the economic value of POME have made it a valuable, renewable resource.
