Abstract

Oil palm is one of the most common plants in the province of South Sumatra. The income of oil palm has increased every year, and also followed by an increase in the waste produced by oil palm. The waste produced is liquid waste or known by another name POME. There is no technology that is efficient enough to process this POME waste. Photocatalyst is a technology that uses light, either UV light or sunlight, which produces radial compounds that break down the oxygen in POME. The type of catalyst used in this research is ZnO from the biosynthesis of pineapple peel, the application of the catalyst to POME waste with a catalyst variation of 120 mg and 140 mg and also variations in irradiation time of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75. The most efficient result for the degradation of POME waste is obtained at an irradiation time of 75 minutes with 140 mg catalyst weight.

Abstract

The demand for high-quality and safe drinking water continues to increase in line with population growth and limited clean water sources. This study aims to analyze the effect of operating pressure and raw water sources (PDAM water and Sukomoro water) on the quality of drinking water produced by the Reverse Osmosis (RO) process using the Goldy ULP-2012-100G membrane. The research was conducted at the Energy Engineering Laboratory of Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya over a period of six months, using pressure variations ranging from 3 to 7 bar. The parameters analyzed included TDS, pH, permeate flux, and rejection efficiency. The results showed that increasing operating pressure positively affected TDS removal efficiency, permeate flux, and pH improvement. The optimal pressure was found at 6 bar, achieving a 95% rejection rate and the highest permeate flux. PDAM water yielded more stable results compared to Sukomoro water, which showed fluctuations in the second trial, possibly due to fouling. The treated water from both sources met the drinking water quality standards based on the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 492 of 2010 and No. 2 of 2023. This study confirms that the RO system using the Goldy ULP-2012-100G membrane can effectively process various raw water sources into potable water, with the best efficiency achieved at 6 bar of operating pressure.
