Abstract

Food waste and sludge from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of hospitals are organic wastes with high utilization potential through bioconversion using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. This study aims to examine the characteristics of food waste and WWTP sludge from Karawang Regional General Hospital and to evaluate their reduction potential through BSF larval activity. The experiment was conducted using three feed variations SML1 (70%:30%), SML2 (50%:50%), and SML3 (30%:70%) along with two control treatments. The analyzed parameters included nutritional content (protein, fat, carbohydrates, ash content, moisture content, and crude fiber), C/N ratio, as well as waste reduction efficiency through substrate consumption (SC) and the Waste Reduction Index (WRI). The results showed that food waste contains high levels of protein and carbohydrates, whereas WWTP sludge contains high organic carbon (C-organic). The best feed variation was SML2, producing 27.11% protein, 4.78% fat, and 7.74% crude fiber, indicating its potential as livestock feed. The best frass quality was obtained from SML3 with a C/N ratio of 30.24%, approaching the standard for organic fertilizers. The highest substrate consumption was recorded in SML1 at 58.86%, and the highest WRI reached 5.21%/day. These findings demonstrate that BSF larvae are effective in reducing hospital organic waste while simultaneously producing valuable end products.

Abstract

Sampah organik merupakan salah satu sampah dengan komposisi timbulan tertinggi di Desa Bengle, Karawang yang belum dikelola dengan baik. Dalam rangka mendukung kebijakan pengurangan sampah di Karawang, masyarakat peduli lingkungan di Bank Sampah Desa Bengle memanfaatkan sampah organik sebagai pakan maggot. Maggot dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai pakan ikan dan unggas sehingga memiliki nilai ekonomis. Namun dalam prosesnya ditemukan kendala, antara lain kurangnya teknologi perajang mekanik yang mendukung masyarakat dalam menyediakan pakan maggot. Tujuan dari program pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan mesin perajang sampah organik melalui sosialisasi teknologi disertai dengan pelatihan pemanfaatannya bagi masyarakat. Melalui program ini, masyarakat Bank Sampah Desa Bengle telah memperoleh sampah organik berukuran 1,00-2,00 cm untuk pakan maggot dengan mengoperasikan mesin pencacah sampah organik berkapasitas 100kg/jam dengan baik.

Abstract

Waste management in the industrial sector presents a serious challenge that requires effective and sustainable strategies. This study aims to analyze the waste generation, composition, as well as the potential and effectiveness of waste reduction activities at PT Asmin Bara Bronang. Data were collected based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 19-3964-1994 as a reference for measuring waste generation and composition. The measurements showed an average waste generation of 263.67 kg/day, with the dominant components being food waste (44.02%), paper (14.55%), and plastic (12.04%). Waste reduction efforts carried out include the cultivation of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae and the processing of plastic into paving blocks and plastic sheets. However, the current effectiveness is still low, reaching only 6.75%. Through optimization analysis, food waste reduction has the potential to increase to 35.80%, and plastic waste reduction to 17.07%. Therefore, the total potential waste reduction after optimization could increase to 52.87% of the total daily waste generation.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate biogas production from a mixture of food waste and garden waste using a fixed dome biodigester with GP-7 activator. Observed parameters include initial pH, temperature, and carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio. The fermentation was carried out for 30 days under anaerobic conditions. Results showed an initial pH of 7.00, temperature of 37.70 °C, and a C/N ratio of 24.41, which are within the optimal range. However, storage for ±15 days increased the C/N ratio to 33.31 due to nitrogen loss. Biogas volume increased sharply, peaking at 4.85 m³ on day 20, then declined to 0 m³ by the end of the fermentation period. This pattern reflects the microbial growth phases and the efficiency of organic matter conversion into gas. The study confirms that initial substrate characteristics and retention time play crucial roles in optimizing biogas production from organic waste in industrial environments.

Abstract

Heavy metals are one of the most dangerous pollutants because they are non-degradable. This study aims to analyze the content of arsenic (As) and chromium (Cr) and evaluate the level of pollution in rice field soil in Tempuran Subdistrict, Karawang Regency. Soil samples were taken in 14 villages, with 10 points taken in each village using purposive sampling. Laboratory analysis was conducted to determine the As and Cr content in the rice field soil, and then calculate the heavy metal pollution index value. The results of this study show that the concentration of As, a heavy metal, is still below the quality standard, while Cr varies in each village. Based on the calculation of the pollution index using the Contamination Factor (Cf), Pollution Load Index (PLI), Ecological Risk Index (Re), Ecological Risk Potential Index (RI), and Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), it was found that the rice fields in Tempuran Subdistrict were categorized as unpolluted to polluted in several villages. The results of mapping with ArcGIS to determine the distribution of heavy metals show that the Ar levels in all research locations are relatively uniform and are displayed in green, indicating that the values are below the quality standards. In contrast, chromium is displayed in shades of light brown to dark brown, reflecting variations in levels in each village, where some areas are below the quality standards, and others exceed the specified thresholds.

Abstract

Heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils has become an increasing environmental concern due to its potential impact on food safety and ecosystem sustainability. This study aims to analyze the concentration and contamination levels of heavy metals Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) in paddy fields located in Tempuran District, Karawang Regency. This region is one of the national rice production centers and is vulnerable to heavy metal accumulation due to intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides. The research was conducted in 14 villages, with disturbed soil samples collected for heavy metal and texture analysis, and undisturbed soil samples collected for porosity and permeability analysis. The main parameters analyzed were Cd and Pb concentrations using the ICP-OES method based on SNI 8910:2021. In addition, the pipette method was used for soil texture analysis; bulk and particle densities were used for porosity calculation; and the percolation method was used to measure permeability. Secondary data included the frequency of fertilizer and pesticide application, land use, age, and harvest periods. Results showed that Cd and Pb concentrations at all sampling locations remained below the threshold limits set by quality standards. Pollution assessment using the Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo), and Ecological Risk Index (Er) indicated that paddy fields in Tempuran District are categorized as uncontaminated to very low risk.
