Abstract

Water is a crucial asset and serves as a significant factor in the quality of life, especially in supporting key sectors such as agriculture, energy, industry and conservation of natural ecosystems. Water quality can be significantly affected by pollution from effluents, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia which faces the added challenge of rapid population growth. This research focuses on monitoring water quality in the Garang River Sub-region, Semarang, by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time monitoring. The methods used include the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) model and an IoT-based monitoring system to measure important parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and nitrate and phosphate concentrations. The results showed that the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) parameter often exceeded quality standards, especially in areas with domestic and industrial activities. The IoT monitoring system facilitates precise and instantaneous data gathering., supporting sustainable water resources management. This research emphasizes the need for evaluation and adjustment of policies related to waste management and spatial planning to reduce pollution and improve water quality.

Abstract

This study utilized an LCA approach to comparatively analyze the environmental impact of using coal and RDF as industrial energy sources. Coal, which constitutes the foundation of Indonesia's economy and its primary energy source, has resulted in substantial emissions. In response to this challenge, RDF has emerged as a promising alternative fuel made from municipal waste with a calorific value equivalent to coal. The findings of this research consistently demonstrate that RDF exhibits a considerably diminished environmental impact profile in comparison to coal, across a wide range of evaluated impact categories. For instance, RDF contributes a mere 2% to terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity, whereas coal contributes 98%. RDF exhibits a minimal contribution to acidification potential, eutrophication, ozone depletion, and human toxicity. The novelty of this research lies in its in-depth comparative analysis of the environmental impacts of coal and RDF using LCA with gate-to-gate boundaries, as well as the identification of key impact points (hotspots) in each energy production process. These findings serve to reinforce the argument that RDF is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy option for Indonesia's industrial sector.

Abstract

Biofilters are a type of attached growth biological treatment that is considered effective among other biological treatments because of their more affordable energy operating costs, easy maintenance and operational requirements, and low environmental impact. However, there is still minimal research related to the use of local microorganisms for biological wastewater treatment. Therefore, this study aims to improve biological wastewater treatment in the cracker industry in Indramayu using local microorganisms equipped with a biofilter that utilizes natural andesite stone as a medium for microorganism growth. The best reduction in BOD anaerobically reached 79.45% and 58.91% aerobically, obtained at a flow rate of 11.11 ml/minute on the 53rd and 45th days. The increase in the BOD/COD effluent ratio from 0.22 to 0.47 during treatment indicated a decrease in biologically degradable compounds and an increase in the effectiveness of local microorganisms in reducing organic matter. Therefore, in this study, we successfully designed a biofiltration system derived from local microorganisms to effectively remove pollutants from wastewater, particularly in the cracker industry.
