Palm oil plantations are currently growing rapidly in Indonesia. The area of palm oil plantations continues to increase from year to year. The total area of palm oil in 2022 will reach 14.99 million hectares, both privately owned plantations and PT. Pola Kahuripan Inti Sawit. To manage the yield of palm oil, assistance from the palm oil plantation industry is needed. However, the palm oil industry also produces wastewater. Therefore, researchers conducted an analysis of the quality of palm oil mill effluent. The method used in this research is exploratory method and data collection and testing is done by grab sampling. The results of the analysis contained in this palm oil mill effluent, namely the TSS content ranges from 30-40 mg/L, the pH content ranges from 7.5-8.9, BOD levels ranged from 20-300 mg/L, COD levels ranged from 30-200 mg/L, Oil and Fat levels ranged from -0.5 mg/L - 5.5 mg/L, Nitrogen (N) levels ranged from 1 mg/L - 18 mg/L. Based on AMDAL and the standard provisions of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Environment Regulation Number 5 of 2014, all parameters tested as a whole have met national quality standards.
