Abstract

Food industry wastewater has characteristics that contain high organic matter and suspended solids. Most of the methods used are physical and chemical treatment because these methods have high efficiency and effectivity. In designing a new wastewater treatment plant, the treatability assessment is essential to any consideration or reference in planning the treatment process to be implemented. This research aims to obtain treatability assessment results that will be used as consideration in planning treatment units in WWTP according to the characteristics of wastewater tested. The removal results of the sedimentation test with Imhoff Cone were able to remove 51.2% COD, 64.04% BOD, and 95.21% TSS with the optimum settling time of 40 minutes. The samples test continued to the rapid-slow mixing test using the jar test, resulting that by adding coagulant at the optimum dose of PAC 120 mg/L, it was capable to remove 68.21% of COD, 73.22% of BOD, and up to 98.07% of TSS at the end of the process. Based on the assessment results, the physical and chemical treatment can remove suspended solids pollutant parameters with high efficiency so it will be considered to be used in planning Wastewater Treatment Plants for this food industry.

Abstract

Anammox activity of water and sediment taken from marine ecosistem around Semarang were investigated in anammox media agar and batch reactor. Effect of increasing salinities (3% to 5%, 7% and 9%) and decreasing salinities (3% to 2%, 1% and 0%) were  investigated. Water and sediment taken from marine ecosistem around Semarang city showed a positive result. Increasing salinity up to 9% will have a positive influence on the activity of anammox bacteria. Whereas, the decrease in salinity will negatively affect anammox bacteria. The ratio of ammonium:nitrite for anammox process ranges from 0.89 to 1.22 and ammonium removal rate varies from 0.08 to 0.59 mg-N/liter hour.

Abstract

Leachate is a liquid that comes from processed waste generation so that it contains compounds that are harmful or toxic to the environment. The quality of the leachate obtained included COD: 3,315 mg/l, BOD: 339 mg/l, TSS: 216 mg/l, and color 3,1210 Pt.Co. Waste processing site Temesi has a BOD/COD ratio of 0.11, this value is not suitable for using biological treatment because the biodegradability value is small so it is difficult for microorganisms to degrade existing pollutants. Therefore, it is necessary to have an pretreatment that is used to increase the value of biodegradability, one of which is oxidation using ozone. Ozone has a strong oxidizing value so that it can produce free radicals to break long chains of pollutants so that they become simpler. This research on ozone oxidation resulted in an increase in the BOD/COD ratio from 0,1 to 0.14 with a generator capacity of 36 g/hour. In this study, an ozone generator of 100 G/hour was used which increased the BOD/COD ratio to 0.46 with a final COD yield of 815 mg/l increasing BOD to 379 mg/l, TSS become 157,62 mg/L and color become 23.642 Pt.Co.

Abstract

Water pollution exacerbates global water crises by reducing freshwater availability and quality. Agricultural wastewater, containing pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and organic matter, can contaminate water bodies if untreated. This study optimizes electrocoagulation (EC) parameters—voltage, time, and calcium concentration—to maximize nitrogen compound removal using response surface methodology (RSM). Results show a nitrate reduction of 88.37% (2.960 mg/L) at 45 V, 15 minutes, and 7 mg/L calcium, while ammonia was reduced by 99.37% (0.016 mg/L) at 30 V, 1.5 minutes, and 4.5 mg/L calcium. Calcium enhances coagulation by forming calcium hydroxide. The optimal conditions for nitrate and ammonia removal (3.709 mg/L and 1.338 mg/L) were 45 V, 15 minutes, and 5.09 mg/L calcium. EC also removed 96.73% of iron, with magnesium concentrations remaining very low (0.001 mg/L).

Abstract

Most community settlements in Indonesia do not have a household scale of a wastewater treatment plant. Fatal impacts on the environment and human health can occur at any time, including (a) causing environmental damage (disaster), (b) damaging beauty/aesthetics for the scenery will be unpleasant and foul-smelling, (c) polluting water bodies, and (d ) endangering health. The purpose of this study is to optimize the Multi Soil Layering (MSL) System to treat domestic wastewater (greywater) using environmentally friendly materials that are available in Indonesia. The research method used the MSL system with the first variation using a batch system with Hydraulic retention time (HRT) for 24 hours and the second variation using an intermittent system with 3, 6, 9 hours HRT. The results showed that the MSL system was able to eliminate COD well. The highest COD removal efficiency was 93.44% at 9 hours HRT, but the effluent quality did not meet the required quality standards. The development of MSL systems that produces an effluent quality that meets the quality standards needs to be studied further.

Abstract

Background: The Tahu Sehat Sari industrial area in Cokro Village is one of the largest tofu manufacturers, processing 3 tons of soybeans daily with 88 employees. However, wastewater quality tests reveal that the effluent exceeds regulatory limits set by Central Java Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2012, with BOD at 422.5 mg/L, COD at 845 mg/L, and TSS at 1940 mg/L. Effective wastewater treatment is necessary to ensure compliance with environmental standards and minimize pollution. Methods: This study evaluates wastewater treatment alternatives, including Anaerobic Digester, Anaerobic Biofilter, and Aerobic Biofilter, with the addition of Effective Microorganisms 4 (EM4) to enhance organic waste degradation. Wastewater samples were tested for COD, BOD, and TSS levels before and after treatment to assess removal efficiency. Findings: The implementation of EM4 significantly improved wastewater quality, achieving an 86% reduction in COD with a 0.3% EM4 concentration in aerobic treatment. EM4’s fermentation bacteria effectively minimized organic contaminants. The selected treatment methods—Anaerobic Digester, Anaerobic Biofilter, and Aerobic Biofilter—proved suitable for treating tofu wastewater, with final effluent concentrations of COD at 2.4 mg/L, BOD at 0.3 mg/L, and TSS at 35 mg/L, meeting regulatory standards. The estimated cost for the construction of a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is IDR 1,177,378,400, with monthly operation and maintenance expenses of IDR 6,110,297. Conclusion: The study confirms that an integrated wastewater treatment system using anaerobic and aerobic biofilters combined with EM4 is effective in reducing organic waste contamination in tofu industry effluent. Further assessment of land use and distribution systems is recommended to optimize wastewater management. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research contributes to sustainable wastewater treatment in tofu production by integrating EM4 technology with anaerobic and aerobic filtration, achieving high pollutant removal efficiency. The study also provides a financial analysis of WWTP implementation, highlighting its feasibility for similar small and medium enterprises.
