Palm oil mill — archived partner study · Sabah, Malaysia · 15 June 2024

The challenge

Severe odour from the lagoon system affected community relations. Excessive sludge accumulation was reducing lagoon capacity and increasing the risk of costly mechanical dredging.

The approach

MICROBE-LIFT®/IND biological programme targeting sludge degradation and odour control across the multi-lagoon system.
