This biological remediative treatment was introduced about 40 years ago when it was usually used in tertiary wastewater treatment [61]. Utilization of palm oil sludge in poultry diet: 3. It is hot (80–900°C) and has a high BOD, which is 100 times as contaminating as domestic sewage [1]. Numerous species of microalgae exist in freshwater, seawater or brackish make them appropriate to be grown in great scale reactor on unfertile lands. (eds. Characteristics of POME and its respective standard discharge limit by the Malaysian Department of Environment [19, 20]. J. Expansive amounts of water are utilized throughout the extraction of crude palm oil from the fresh fruit bunch, and around half of the water consequences in POME, which is a highly polluting wastewater that pollutes the environment if discharged directly due to its high COD and BOD concentration. Jurnal Ilmu Ternak dan Veteriner, 5 (2): 107-112, Sinurat, A. P. ; Bintang, I. However, this is not always the case and this datasheet will use the generic term palm oil mill effluent. Dried palm oil sludge and its fermented product for growing drakes. Int. Palm oil processing is carried out in palm oil mills where oil is extracted from a palm oil fruit bunch. United Plantation utilizes the palm oil mill effluent for the production of organic based fertilizers. Further drying can be done by absorption on dry feeds such as cassava roots, dehydrated grass or palm kernel meal (Pérez, 1997), or by conventional drying methods (Chavalparit, 2006). Thus, POME emerged to be an alternative option as a chemical remediation to grow microalgae for biomass production and simultaneously act as a part of wastewater treatment process [50]. In Thai native cattle fed Plicatulum hay as a roughage source, decanted palm oil effluent included at 40% in the concentrate affected intake, digestibility, rumen fermentation and blood metabolites and it was concluded that the optimum level should not exceed 30% (Seephueak et al., 2011). Biogas Generation and Waste Water The remaining waste water is diverted to biogas tank farms for biogas capture before the residual effluent is sent to the effluent ponds where the degradation and purification process begins. Degradation properties in the rumen of Kedah-Kelantan cattle. Utilization of palm oil sludge in poultry diet. Replacing 20% of the maize energy in the diet (8% as fed) by a decanted (25% moisture) palm oil effluent was found to be economically beneficial (Bobadoye et al., 2006).

Clean technology for the crude palm oil industry in Thailand. [46], the raw or partially treated POME has an extremely high content of degradable organic matter. In 2011, Malaysia was the second biggest oil palm producer in the world, with an aggregate of 16.6 million tons, a sum lesser than 1% from the total world’s supply behind Indonesia. By Hesam Kamyab, Shreeshivadasan Chelliapan, Mohd Fadhil Md Din, Shahabaldin Rezania, Tayebeh Khademi and Ashok Kumar, Submitted: November 25th 2017Reviewed: February 22nd 2018Published: November 5th 2018. Biotechnol. At the point when contrasted with those routine wastewater treatment processes which introduce activated sludge and living floc to degrade natural carbonaceous issue to CO2, and microalgae may acclimatize natural toxins into cell constituents, for example, lipid and carbohydrate, therefore attaining pollutant decrease in a more ecological friendly way [7]. At least 44 million tons of POME was produced and are increasing every year in Malaysia [1], particularly because of the initiative of the government to promote palm oil industry. The oil palm has the expectancy of over 200 years, whereas the economic life is about 20–25 years. By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers. Palm oil mill effluent is a high-strength pollutant with low pH due to the organic and free fatty acids arising from partial degradation of palm fruits before processing. This dilution procedure will then enhance the light penetration into media for the algal growth in wastewater [55]. Nutrient intake and physiological responses of Kedah-Kelantan cattle. The higher portion in the raw POME was water with 95-96% and made up with 0.6 - 0.7% oil and 4-5% total solids (Ma, 2000; Ahmad et al., 2003). Alternatively, culturing microalgae in wastewater offers an economy, which is alternative to the traditional types of wastewater treatment [39, 40]. Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), Serdang, Selangor, Devendra, C., 1985. Chironomid larvae (bloodworms) are a valuable live food for fish or cultured invertebrates. In Ghana, fresh (80% DM) palm oil mill effluent was included at up to 30% (as fed basis), to replace up to 45% of maize grain in ad libitum diets for growing pigs without affecting growth and generally improving carcass measurements (Abu et al., 1984). Malaysia has a tropical atmosphere and is prosperous with regular assets. Inclusion of fresh or dried fermented palm oil sludge in native chicken's diet. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a wastewater generated from palm oil milling activities which requires effective treatment before discharge into watercourses due … However, this product impaired meat quality, as it decreased the proportion of lean meat and increased the lipid and cholesterol content, as well as its oxidative susceptibility vis-à-vis the accumulation of dangerous lipid peroxidation products (Onibi et al., 2011; Kagya-Agyemang et al., 2008). Decanted effluent contain 60-80% DM and dried effluent contains more than 90% DM. On 27 October 2020, our evaporation specialist, Amol Hukkerikar, would like to share his knowledge about various solutions that treat POME and their benefits to palm oil mills. In Ghana, a fresh (82% moisture) effluent with a particularly rich oil content (more than 70% DM) included at 5 or 10% (as fed) in broiler diets increased feed intake and growth performance (Atuahene et al., 1987). of raw Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is generated for every tonne of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed. More than 85% of palm oil mills in Malaysia have adopted ponding system for treating POME [20], while the rest have opted for open digesting tank [22]. Consequently, vast majority of the nutrients such as nitrate and ortho-phosphates that are not detached during anaerobic digestion will be additionally treated in a microalgae pond. J. Appl. In a similar experiment in Nigeria with weaner pigs fed up to 25% liquid palm oil mill effluent, there were positive relationships between daily gain, feed intake, backfat thickness and the inclusion rate of the effluent, but feed efficiency and diet digestibility decreased (Fanimo et al., 1998). But it i s the most expensive and difficult waste to manage by mill Anim. The intake and digestibility in goats of, Vairappan, C. S. ; Yen, A. M., 2008. Built by scientists, for scientists. POME is the wastewater produced by processing oil palm and comprises of different suspended materials. Brief introduction to this section that descibes Open Access especially from an IntechOpen perspective, Want to get in touch? Malaysia Oil Palm Refinery Palm Oil Mill Effluent Treatment. J. Agric. A. ; Johnson, N. C., 2000. Rep. The disposal of this very contaminating effluent is turning into a noteworthy issue assuming that it may be not continuously treated appropriately as well as a severe standard boundary obligatory set by the Malaysian Department of Environment for the discharge of effluent. POME is a non-harmful waste; however, it will pose environmental issue because of vast oxygen draining capacity to oceanic framework because of natural and supplement substance. In general, culturing of microalgae on a large scale required high nitrogen and other related chemical fertilizers, which driven the process toward non-environmental friendly. POME also has very high BOD and COD contents which are in the range 25,000–54,000 mg/L and 50,000–100,000 mg/L, respectively [45]. Another issue is that anaerobic ponds release greenhouse gases (methane and carbon dioxide) that contribute to global warming. Around 85% of palm oil mills have treated raw POME using biological treatment [26]. Included at up to 20% of the diet, dried palm oil mill effluent for growing/finishing pigs was feasible but performance was poorer and carcass fat deposition increased with higher rates (Ong, 1982). The high amount of total solids (40,500 mg/L) contributes to the large amount of nutrients available in the wastewater, hence possible algae bloom. Forest. We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. In the rainy season, overflow from the wastewater treatment plants causes heavy water pollution to nearby waterways. POME is a colloidal suspension, starting from the blend of sterilizer condensate, separator sludge and hydrocyclone wastewater in a proportion of 9:15:1, respectively [1]. The use of palm oil mill effluent was studied in four Indian carp species, namely silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus). POME is a highly polluted waste having unpleasant odor. Technol., 33 (3) : 271-280, Shibata, M. ; Osman, A. H., 1988. In goats fed a basal diet of rice straw, 3:1 and 1:1 ratios of palm effluent:palm kernel meal were equally good supplements in terms of live-weight gain (Phang et al., 1992). These days, palm oil enterprise is developing quickly and turning into a noteworthy agriculture-based industry in Malaysia. Nutritional values of chironomid larvae grown in palm oil mill effluent and algal culture. Non conventional feed resources in Asia and the Pacific. The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest. Utilizing POME as supplements source to culture microalgae is not an another scenario in Malaysia. Dried palm oil mill effluent as a partial substitute for palm kernel expeller meal for cattle feedlot fattening. The raw effluent contains 90-95% water and includes residual oil, soil particles and suspended solids. Nigerian J. Anim. The discharge of untreated POME creates adverse impact to the environment [6]. In recent decades, Malaysia has been known as one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of palm oil products. While the oil palm industry has been recognized for its contribution toward economic growth and rapid development, it has also contributed to environmental pollution due to the production of huge quantities of by-products from the oil extraction process [2]. The significant contamination comes out of the fresh fruit brunch (FFB). It is also known to be a good source of nutrients [5]. In the process of palm oil milling, POME is generated through sterilization of fresh oil palm fruit bunches, clarification of palm oil and effluent from hydrocyclone operations. The fish were harvested after 9 months and the maximum individual growths of silver carp, rohu and mrigal were 700, 550 and 600 g respectively whereas the average growth of catla was 35.3 g (Babu et al., 2001). Growth conditions for microalgae using POME. Its total nitrogen in the range of 400–800 mg/L and suspended solids contents in the range of 18,000–47,000 mg/L. In the year 2003, there were more than 3.79 million ha of land under palm oil cultivation, occupying more than 33% of the total developed area and 11% of the total land area of Malaysia [32]. It typically contains large amounts of total solids (40,500–75,000 mg/L) and oil and grease (2000–8300 mg/L). Since the oil palm industry is tremendous, with 67% of agricultural land secured with oil palm tree, biomass from oil palm contributes the most. Biol. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is an important source of inland water pollution when released into local rivers or lakes without treatment. 2. palm oil refinery & fractionation workshops. Growing ducklings were found to be slightly more tolerant than broilers to dried effluent, and up to 15% (fermented or not) can be included in their diet (Sinurat et al., 2001a). The potential utilization of recovery of water and natural issues from POME has been applied for different applications [21]. The variability in cell wall content is very large: NDF ranges from 15% to more than 60% DM, due to variation in the presence of fibrous solids. 42, pp: 1-19. palm oil mill effluent, from different sources. The system 7. POME contains high amounts of oil and grease (4000 mg/L) and COD (50,000 mg/L). Although the effluent is nontoxic, it has a very high concentration of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (i.e., 25,000 mg/L) which becomes a serious threat to aquatic life when discharged in relatively large quantities into watercourses. Oil palm as of now involves the biggest real acreage of cultivated land in Malaysia [30, 31]. There was no advantage in feeding fresh rather than dried fermented effluent in both broilers and native chickens (Sinurat et al., 2001b; Sinurat et al., 2001c). Another type of sterilizer technology, the tilting sterilizer, also eliminates much of the machinery associated with conventional sterilizers. AIDEnvironment, Friends of the Earth, UK, Wu, T. Y. ; Mohammad, A. W. ; Jahim, J. M. ; Anuar, N., 2009. In feedlot cattle fed a 40:60 mixture of dried palm effluent and palm kernel expeller meal, growth was lower (650-690 vs. 750-760 g/d) than in animals fed only palm kernel meal, but performance was still considered satisfactory because of the high price differential between palm effluent and palm kernel meal (Yusoff et al., 1989). The discharge can lead to land and aquatic pollution if it is left untreated [24]. The discharge of improperly treated POME creates adverse impact to the environment (Table 2). Others minerals such as Fe, Zn, P, Mg, Ca and K that are required for microalgae growth are also present in POME. These methods are regarded as conventional POME treatment method, whereby longer retention time and large treatment areas are required [23]. At an average, about 0.1 tonne . The authors would like to acknowledge IPASA, RAZAK School and MJIT in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) for providing adequate facilities to conduct this research. Based on the data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in 2012, Malaysia produced 99.85 million tons of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) per year. Hence, the variation of the characteristics of POME, in terms of its quality and quantity, is the main reason that causes selection in the treatment of POME in the palm oil industries [1, 47]. The steady increase in palm oil production will inevitably increase palm oil mill effluent (POME) as an inevitable by-product that causes serious environmental damage if … Fish culture in palm oil mill effluent. Palm oil mill effluent has been tested as a potential medium for growing animal species used to feed fish and other aquaculture species. Feeding value of oil palm by-products. Looking for efficient and sustainable ways to manage your palm oil mill effluent? Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too. Feed Sci. For example, in a conventional palm oil mill, 600–700 kg of POME is generated for every 1000 kg of processed fresh fruit bunches (FFB) [14]. Sci. Since the 1980-1990s (depending on the country), developments have taken place in the crude palm oil industry to make it environmentally more sustainable, and wastewater treatment systems are now commonplace in the main areas of production (Chavalparit, 2006). Small Rumin. POME wastes are the fiber free non-oil components obtained from the clarification zone of an oil mills. Login to your personal dashboard for more detailed statistics on your publications. Prod., 27: 64-70, Pérez, R., 1997. Unconventional feedstuffs for livestock. By means of biorefinery, biogas production through anaerobic digestion is one of the most common treatments of wastewater in the palm oil industry. Soc. Usually, the harvested part is the fruit whereby oil is obtained from the fleshy mesocarp of the fruit. PALM OIL MILL EFFLUENT (POME): POST TREATMENT ABSTRACT Generation of raw palm oil mill effluent (POME) has rocketed over the past few decades. However, about 5–5.7 tons of water was required in order to sterilize the palm fruit bunches and clarify the extracted oil to produce 1 ton of crude palm oil resulting in 50% of the water turning into palm oil mill effluent (POME). Effluents from palm oil mills using wet process are lower in fat than effluents from mills using dry process (Seephueak et al., 2011). POME consists of water soluble components of palm fruits as well as suspended materials like palm fibre and oil. Around 44 million m3 of POME were produced in year 2013 to yield 19.66 million tons of total crude palm oil [14]. According to POME characteristic and standard discharge limit in Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974, the palm oil industry faces the challenge of balancing the environmental protection, its economic viability and sustainable development. Industry in particular agro-based industry is one of the significant divisions releasing extensive amount of wastewater yearly influencing the other water sources and human life. Biomass and Bioenergy, 11 (5): 387–395, Seephueak, W. ; Ngampongsai, W. ; Chanjula, P., 2011. Palm oil has a very good potential in producing alternative energy due to its calorific content. Variety diversity effect on the chemical composition and dry matter degradation characteristics of residue and by-products of oil palm fruits. With 50% efficiency, biomass from oil palm can generate 8 Mton of energy and can save RM 7.5 billion per year of crude oil [14, 19]. Microalgae naturally exist in many palm oil mill processes, phenomena known as “algae bloom,” hence declining the water quality. Henson, I.E., 1994. [28] have done their studies by focusing on the nutrients reduction in POME, lipid production and microalgae growth. Jurnal Ilmu Ternak dan Veteriner, 6 (4): 213-219, Vadiveloo, J. ; Fadel, J. G., 1992. POME is a viscous brown liquid with fine suspended solids at pH ranging between 4 and 5 (P.E. Without appropriate treatment, this wastewater will contaminate the encompassing surrounding. A. ; Okai, D. B. ; Tuah, A. K., 1984. As of now, 85.5% of the biomass residues are originating from the oil palm industry. Malaysia produces about 41% of the world’s supply of palm oil as shown in Figure 1. The characteristics of POME and its behavior, if discharged directly, in water are described in this chapter. The production of chironomid larvae was significantly higher in palm oil mill effluent than in algal (Chlorella vulgaris) cultures (Habib et al., 1997). Palm oil mill effluent (POME)is a yellow liquid with a unique unpleasant smell and comes from oil extraction, cleaning and washing process in the POME factory, … Most palm oil millers favor the culture of microalgae as a tertiary treatment before POME is released because of practically low cost and high impact. However, the concomitant production of highly polluting palm oil mill effluent, as known as POME, has resulted negative effect of environmental hazards. The performance of microalgae growth cultivated in POME is shown in Table 6. Right now, the management of POME has developed from treatment of waste for transfer to gainful use of assets. The quantity of palm oil mills has elevated relatively, at beginning with 10 mills in 1960 moved to 410 operated mills in 2008. These days, there is an incredible and nonstop increment in industrialization, foundation and urban expansion in Asia, which has added to the critical wastes demand and water deficiency because of water contamination [52]. *Address all correspondence to: hesam_kamyab@yahoo.com. According to Kamyab et al. (Vairappan et al., 2008). Despite the importance of the edible oil and fats extracted from the palm fruits, the POME contains residual oil which affects the environment cannot be ignored. Technol., 83 (3-4): 185-193, Babu, M. K. ; Sukumaran, N. ; Kumar, M. G. V. ; Murugesan, A. G. ; Jose, G. S. ; Hussain, M. I. The wastewater treatment technologies are expensive, dependent on skilled personnel and hard to carry out, as the volume of contaminated wastewater is huge [38]. Hesam Kamyab, Shreeshivadasan Chelliapan, Mohd Fadhil Md Din, Shahabaldin Rezania, Tayebeh Khademi and Ashok Kumar (November 5th 2018). Poh, 2008). The rotifer species Isochrysis sp., grown in a modified medium of aerobically digested palm oil mill effluent was suitable to be reused as a supplement to further enrich and improve other rotifer cultures, such as Nanochloropsis sp. Two cage tippers are used with the individual Ster… Palm oil mill effluent is a highly polluting material and much research has been dedicated to means of alleviating its threat to the environment. Aquaculture, 158 (1-2): 95-105, Hertrampf, J. W., 1988. Blend of oil palm slurry and rice bran as feed ingredient for broiler chickens. Feeding value of oil palm by-products. Despite its biodegradability, POME cannot be discharged without first being treated because POME is acidic and … An assessment of feeding value using sheep indicated that up to 40% palm oil meal effluent can be used either alone in molasses urea-based diets, or combined in equal proportions with palm press fibre, but this latter blend should not be stored for more than 36 hours as it rapidly becomes unpalatable. We share our knowledge and peer-reveiwed research papers with libraries, scientific and engineering societies, and also work with corporate R&D departments and government entities. Furthermore, the common conventional treatment is unable to meet the regulations set by the Department of Environment (DOE) with the level of BOD at 100 mg/L. The same effluent, but sun-dried (11% moisture), mixed with rice bran was introduced at 10% in broiler diets without significantly affecting feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion efficiency (Atuahene et al., 2000). The year 1978 witnessed the enactment of the Environmental Quality Regulations detailing POME discharge standards. The feasible way that is more attentions in the present time is the use of microalgae, which is known to have the potential to treat wastewater [10] such as removal of CO2 and NOx [11] and high capacity of nutrient uptake [12]. In general, there are four types of treatment systems adopted by the palm oil industry, which are as follows: The most proper secondary treatment for POME is natural assimilation with the blend of anaerobic and aerobic ponds. PhD Thesis Wageningen University, Devendra, C. ; Yeong, S. W. ; Ong, H. K., 1983. However, the final treatment by aerobic pond system is struggling to achieve the discharge standards because of inefficient operational design [3]. POME is 100 times more polluted than the municipal sewage which has a high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Effects of palm oil sludge in concentrate on nutrient utilization and rumen ecology of thai native cattle fed with hay. In South-East Asia, fresh centrifuged sludge solids included at 14% (diet DM) in diets for growing pigs gave lower performance than the control maize diet (650 vs. 700 g/d average daily gain and 3.83 vs. 3.36 feed conversion ratio) (Ong, 1982). Jurnal Ilmu Ternak dan Veteriner, 6 (1): 28-33, Sinurat, A. P. ; Purwadaria, T. ; Pasaribu, T. ; Darma, J. ; Bintang, I. There are several important aspects to be considered during the current study. In both experiments, the inclusion rates are expressed on fresh basis, so the amount of effluent dry matter is actually much lower (less than 10% diet DM). Because POME consists of large amount of organic compounds and inorganic compounds which is hazardous to environmental health, microalgae have been suggested as a potential candidate to remove these pollutants and able to breakdown the organic compounds present in it [37, 38]. POME while fresh is hot acidic and pH range between 4 and 5, brownish colloidal suspension containing high concentrations of natural matter, high quantities of total solids (40,500 mg/L), oil and grease (4000 mg/L) COD (50,000 mg/L) and BOD (25,000 mg/L) [15]. Concentration required by the Department of Environment (DOE) is 200 mg/L for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 100 mg/L for total suspended solid (TSS). Palm oil mill effluent tends to concentrate major minerals and trace elements. Help us write another book on this subject and reach those readers. Fresh or dried palm oil mill effluent or products derived from it can replace part of the maize in pig diets, but at relatively low amounts (10-15% of the diet DM). As a result, the discharge of palm oil mill effluent has the potential to severely pollute the receiving waterways. In conclusion, the research was carried out mainly to investigate the influence of discharging POME from the treatment plant especially in tropical region like Malaysia and the effect on microalgae growth efficiency in POME. In order to grow microalgae effectively, the basic nitrate concentration required is in the range of 200–400 mg/L [51]. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) waste treatment plants cater all raw effluent produced. Although, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is not the only waste generated during processing of fresh fruit bunch (FFB). Palm oil, edible oil, is derived from the meaty mesocarp of the fruit of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. The wastes are in the form of high organic matter concentration such as cellulosic wastes with a mixture of carbohydrates and oils. Effluent from Palm oil mill According to statistical datum, producing 1ton crude palm oil will generate 0.5tons water water, for a 100t/d palm oil mill factory, it means it will produce 50tons palm oil mill effluent at … In fact, every ton of FFB is composed of 230–250 kg of empty fruit bunches (EFB), 130–150 kg of fibers, 60–65 kg of shell and 55–60 kg of kernels and 160–200 kg of unrefined oil [19]. In 2003, a total of 2,106,956 tonnes of FFB were processed, resulting in 1,369,521 tonnes of POME being produced. The characteristics of POME depend on the quality of the raw material and the production processes [24]. The asterisk * indicates that the average value was obtained by an equation. The yield of oil from the kernel is about 40–50% [35]. Palm oil mill effluent is the voluminous liquid waste that comes from the sterilisation and clarification processes in milling oil palm. It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. The sample was transported to the laboratory in an ice box and analyzed for microbiological and physicochemical properties within four (4) hours of collection. Proceedings of National Workshop on Oil Palm By-Product Utilization, Institut Penyelidikan Minyak Kelapa Sawit Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.- Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia): IPMKSM, 1983. p. 63-75, Devendra, C., 1979. Dried palm oil effluent can be fed to growing rabbits in replacement of maize offals at 10% of the diet without deleterious effect on growth performance (Abu et al., 1993). Farmed fish as biological agents for extracting residual palm oil in discarded spent bleaching clays from the palm oil refining industry. The present treatment technology of POME normally comprises of natural aerobic and anaerobic digestion. The waste products generated during palm oil processing consist of oil palm trunks (OPT), oil palm fronds (OPF), empty fruit bunches (EFB), palm pressed fibers (PPF) and palm kernel shells, less fibrous material such as palm kernel cake and liquid discharge POME [2]. In order to conserve the environment, an efficient management system in the treatment of these by-products is needed [17]. It takes 5–10 years for palm oil plant to reach the highest yield. Proceeding of 11th Agriculture Conference, Khon Kaen university, Khon Kaen, February 1-3, 2009, 221-223, Prasertsan, S. ; Prasertsan, P., 1996. Palm oil mills are prevalent across a large amount of the tropics. Palm oil mill effluent is a high-strength pollutant with low pH due to the organic and free fatty acids arising from partial degradation of palm fruits before processing. Japan Agricultural Research Quarterly, 22 (3): 235-241, Sinurat, A. P. ; Purwadaria, T. ; Ketaren, P. P. ; Zainuddin, D. ; Kompiang, I. P., 2000.
