Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of bran variation on the growth of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) under controlled initial conditions of 250 g larvae and 250 g organic waste. The experiment was conducted using different doses of bran supplementation (20–200 g), with daily observations of larval weight changes over 11 days. The results indicate that bran addition significantly influenced larval growth rate. Moderate doses (60–100 g) produced higher and more consistent weight gain compared to low doses (20–40 g) or excessive doses (160–200 g). The highest growth was observed in the 80 g treatment, reaching 890 g on day 10 before declining on day 11. In conclusion, moderate bran supplementation provides the most optimal medium conditions for larval growth, while insufficient or excessive amounts tend to be less efficient.

Abstract

Microplastic contamination in drinking water systems is an emerging environmental and public health issue. This study investigated the abundance, size distribution, and polymer composition of microplastics across the Bedadung River water treatment chain, from source to consumer taps. Seven sampling points were established, including upstream locations, intake sites, treatment plant reservoirs, and tap water from two water treatment plants (Tegal Gede and Tegal Besar). Microplastic concentrations ranged from 49.33 to 160 particles/L, with particle sizes averaging 0.102–0.233 mm. Contrary to expected treatment outcomes, both plants demonstrated significant increases in microplastic concentrations post-treatment: Tegal Gede saw a 78% increase, while Tegal Besar exhibited a 140% rise. The highest contamination (160 particles/L) was recorded at the Tegal Besar treated water reservoir. These elevated microplastic levels in treated and consumer tap water highlight a critical gap in current water treatment processes, suggesting that material migration from treatment infrastructure, including plastic pipes and filtration components, may contribute to contamination. The predominance of fiber-type microplastics, mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), underscores the need for specialized microplastic removal processes and infrastructure upgrades to safeguard public health.
