Abstract

Karangpilang II Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is a part of Karangpilang WTP of Surabaya Water Utilities that serves the water supply for Surabaya City. Karangpilang II WTP has the biggest clean water production capacity in Karangpilang WTP, which is 2500 L/s. Using conventional treatment to remove turbidity, the treatment plant in Karangpilang II WTP consists of pre-sedimentation, clearator and filter units. In this study, evaluation of turbidity quality in production water and turbidity removal efficiency were conducted to analyze the Karangpilang II WTP performance in turbidity treatment. The evaluation was conducted using the 2016 data, by comparing the turbidity of production water with the Water Quality Standard of the Water Utilities, and by comparing the turbidity of raw water, effluents of each treatment unit and production water. The evaluation result showed that in the case of Karangpilang II WTP turbidity removal performance, there were some occurrences that the turbidity in production water has not met the standard quality. The results also showed that there was a unit in the Karang Pilang II WTP with inadequate performance in turbidity removal, namely pre‑sedimentation unit. There are some solutions for the problem of turbidity removal in Karangpilang II WTP: increasing the maintenance schedule for pre-sedimentation unit; determining the proper turbidity reference in determination of coagulant dose; optimizing the coagulant dose; using produced sludge from water treatment as coagulant aid along with Al2SO4; and using capping material in filter unit.

Abstract

Tofu liquid waste comes from the washing process, boiling, and printing on tofu production. Tofu liquid waste is usually directly discharged into rivers or sewers which can have a negative impact on the environment. Tofu wastewater treatment with activated charcoal adsorption methods can reduce the concentration of pollutants contained in the waste. This research was conducted to determine the effect of variations in stirring speed in the removal of COD and TSS levels in tofu liquid waste. The adsorbent used in this study was activated charcoal from the skin of jengkol (Pithecellobium lobatum) carbonized at 350ºC which was then activated using 1M HCL. The adsorption process in this study used a mass of 2 g of activated charcoal; 4 g, 6 g and 8 g and stirring speed 60 rpm and 120 rpm. The initial concentrations of COD and TSS were 5140 mg/L and 605 mg/L. The results of the research that have been carried out show that the stirring speed and mass of the adsorbent affect the levels of COD and TSS as well as the effectiveness and adsorption capacity. A significant decrease in COD and TSS levels occurred in the treatment using 8 g of activated charcoal and a stirring speed of 120 rpm. The COD value obtained was 1137 mg/L, TSS was 103 mg/L and the efficiency value obtained was COD of 77.88% and TSS of 82.98%.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of phytoremediation using plants in reducing chromium (Cr) levels and modifying pH in batik wastewater. The research was conducted using three experimental tanks: Control Tank (without plants), Tank 1 (with 8 plants) and Tank 2 (with 16 plants). The results showed that in the control tank the pH fluctuated and reached 8.1 on the 9th day, while in tank 1 and tank 2 the pH was more controlled with peak values of 7.9 and 8.2 respectively. The most significant reduction in chromium levels occurred in tank 2, with treatment efficacy reaching 70% on day 9, compared to 45% in tank 1 and 10.5% in the control tank. These results indicate that phytoremediation with more plants can significantly improve the treatment efficiency of batik wastewater, making it a potential and environmentally friendly method for industrial wastewater treatment. The phytoremediation method was carried out by observing variations in the number of plants using 3 reactor tanks. The first tank was a control tank, the second tank (BR2) contained 8 plants and the third tank (BR3) contained 16 plants. Samples were taken on days 3, 6 and 9. The results showed that the highest effectiveness in reducing total chromium (Cr) levels occurred in the third tank (BR3) on day 9, with a reduction of 70%.

Abstract

“X” garment industry’s Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) was built to treat domestic wastewater with an inflow capacity of 500 m3/day. The main principle of the STP technology is an attached growth process with Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology using biochip media. Wastewater treated at the STP must meet the water quality standards of Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation 68 of 2016 before being discharged into water bodies. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the “X” garment industry’s STP performance. Wastewater sampling was carried out at the inlet and outlet of STP. Water quality parameters analyzed included pH, BOD, COD, TSS, oil and grease, ammonia, and total coliforms. The removal efficiency value is obtained from the calculation of sampling results. The analysis showed that all treated water parameters met the water quality standards throughout the research period. Hence, the average removal efficiency value at the STP for each parameter was above 90%.

Abstract

Tofu industrial wastewater contains a high level of chemical oxygen demand (COD), which may cause negative impacts if not treated before being discharged into the environment. Filtration is one of the simple and effective methods for COD removal in tofu industrial wastewater, utilizing filtration media such as sand and activated carbon. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of spent coffee grounds (SCG) activated carbon and river sand as filtration media in COD removal from tofu industrial wastewater. The research was carried out using a dual media filtration unit composed of SCG activated carbon and river sand, with media thicknesses of 15 cm and 30 cm, respectively. The results show that the combination of SCG activated carbon and river sand as filtration media can reduce the COD level in tofu industrial wastewater from 928 mg/L to 307 mg/L (66.92%), although it still does not meet the quality standard (300 mg/L). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the combination of SCG activated carbon and river sand has the potential to lower COD levels in tofu industrial wastewater, but further improvement is required to enhance its effectiveness.
