BIOFLOW-POME

Biological Support for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Pond Systems

A structured biological treatment programme designed to support organic breakdown, settling performance and long-term pond stability within existing POME treatment systems.

When POME Pond Systems Need Support

Existing pond systems may face instability due to loading variation, sludge accumulation, oil and grease carryover, settling issues and odour pressure. BioFlow-POME is designed to support the performance of existing pond stages without major infrastructure changes.

Reduced clarity and unstable settling conditions within the pond system.

Accumulation can reduce effective pond capacity and treatment efficiency.

Excess suspended material may carry through subsequent treatment stages.

Persistent odour may indicate incomplete degradation or unstable pond conditions.

Residual oil and grease can add loading pressure to biological treatment.

Variable downstream performance may reflect instability within earlier pond stages.

How BioFlow-POME Supports the System

BioFlow-POME is applied as a structured biological treatment programme to support the existing pond process. The approach focuses on organic breakdown, settling conditions, organic loading management and longer-term treatment stability.

Assists biological degradation of organic matter within the treatment process.

Supports clearer pond stages and improved management of suspended material.

Helps the system manage grease, oils, suspended solids and other organic loading.

Designed for structured dosing and ongoing biological maintenance support.

Why Mills May Consider BioFlow-POME

BioFlow-POME is designed as a practical support programme for existing POME pond systems. It helps mills explore biological support without major infrastructure changes, while keeping the approach structured, manageable and suitable for ongoing review.

Simple Application & Monitoring

BioFlow-POME can be introduced through a structured support programme tailored to the mill’s pond layout, operating conditions and monitoring approach. The process is designed to be practical, manageable and suitable for ongoing review.

Evaluation & Performance Review

A BioFlow-POME evaluation can be structured around the mill’s existing pond configuration, operating conditions and treatment objectives. Baseline conditions are reviewed before application, with selected indicators monitored over an appropriate treatment period to assess pond response and determine suitable next steps.
