Abstract

Tapioca starch industry wastewater contains high concentrations of organic matter, offering potential for renewable energy generation via biogas production. This study evaluates the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) variation and Lampung natural zeolite as an immobilization medium on biogas production in an anaerobic reactor. Two reactor configurations were compared: one with zeolite as the microbial immobilization medium and a control reactor without any immobilization media. Zeolite improved the sCOD degradation efficiency up to 93% compared to the non-immobilized reactor. VFA conversion to methane remained more stable with zeolite, producing up to 520 mL of biogas at a 10-day HRT, with an average biogas yield of 61.97 mL/g dry substrate, much higher than 4.15 mL/g in the non-immobilized reactor. This research confirms the effectiveness of Lampung natural zeolite for enhancing microbial retention, accelerating methanogenesis, and improving overall anaerobic reactor performance. These results have substantial implications for developing efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly treatment technologies for tapioca starch wastewater, offering simultaneous solutions for pollution control and renewable energy generation.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a crucial issue in Jatimulyo Village, South Lampung Regency, particularly during the dry season. Residents face difficulties accessing water sources due to a limited understanding of the subsurface groundwater potential. In response to this problem, a team from the Sumatra Institute of Technology (ITERA) conducted a community service activity aimed at mapping this groundwater potential. This activity utilized the geoelectric resistivity method to identify subsurface structures and determine the locations and depths of potential aquifers for drilled wells. In its implementation, the team collaborated with the local village government and involved participants from the Geophysical Engineering and Petroleum and Gas Engineering Study Programs. In addition to technical surveys, the team also conducted a socialization of their findings and provided education on groundwater utilization. This event, attended by residents, local neighborhood (RT) heads, and village officials, highlighted the importance of proper aquifer identification, well maintenance techniques, and strategies for ensuring water resource sustainability. This initiative received positive appreciation from the village head and residents, who hope the results of the ITERA study can provide a concrete solution to address the challenges of clean water availability in their region.
