Abstract

Car wash services in Indonesia are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas. One of them is a vehicle washing business in Kuta Raja District, Banda Aceh. However, vehicle washing services not only increase regional income, but also produce vehicle washing liquid waste which can reduce environmental quality. So it is necessary to process liquid waste, one of which is by using tilapia fish scale chitosan. This research aims to determine the value of the best coagulant dose of chitosan mass in reducing COD, TSS and Phosphate pollutants in vehicle washing waste. The dose determination method is carried out by varying the dose to 10 mg/L, 20 mg/L and 30 mg/L for each with a combination of fast stirring at 120 rpm for 30 minutes and slow stirring at 90 rpm for 40 minutes. The results of the study showed that the best dose for reducing COD parameters was the use of a dose of 20 mg/L, then the best mass for reducing TSS parameters was the use of a dose of 30 mg/L and the effectiveness of reducing COD levels were 81.53%, then the reduction in TSS levels was 88.11%. . In phosphate there is an increase in concentration with each dose given. The addition of chitosan to COD, TSS and Phosphate depends on the optimum dose found in vehicle washing wastewater. Thus, processing vehicle washing liquid waste using tilapia fish scale chitosan using the flocculation-coagulation method is able to reduce the concentration of the parameters.

Abstract

Palm oil processing resulting empty fruit bunch waste that has a high organic content. Empty fruit bunches produce up to 6 million tons of waste per year and this waste has not been widely utilized so that can become an environmental problem such as pollution in the future. Alternative way to utilize the wastes is by converting them into organic fertilizer or compost. Therefore, this study aims to analyse and compare the results of EM4 activator composting by using leachate activators, the effect of composting time for each activator and the quality of compost referring to SNI 19-7030-2004. In this study, the composting process was carried out for 21 days with three experiments that include without treatment, by adding 1 litre of EM4 activator and by adding of 1 litre leachate water. The parameters measured were physical, temperature, humidity, pH, C, N, P, K and C/N-ratio. The results of this study indicate that composting with EM4 activator resulting composting pH level of 4.4 - 6.2, humidity of 1.5 - 70%, temperature of 29-38 °C, brownish black in colour, rough and hard in textures and soil-like (earthy) smell while composting using leachate water has a pH of 4.6 - 6.5, humidity of 3.9 - 80%, temperature of 29-38 °C and brownish black in colour, rough texture and slightly stink. Compost with EM4 activator was showing a faster composting time than using leachate. In term of quality, the composting by using EM4 activator produced higher quality compost compared to leachate activator composting with compost quality close to SNI 19-730-2004 requirement.

Abstract

Indonesia, a country highly susceptible to climate change, faces severe water scarcity due to unpredictable rainfall patterns and intensified extreme weather events. This paper presents an innovative solution, the Climate Resilience Water Tank with Rainwater Harvesting and Filtration Technology (CRANK), to address the deepening water scarcity crisis amplified by climate change. CRANK is a sustainable water storage system that integrates rainwater harvesting technology with infiltration wells. The system collects rainwater from rooftops, filters it, and stores it in a tank. When the tank reaches its maximum capacity, the excess rainwater is channeled into infiltration wells where it is filtered and replenishes the groundwater table. This dynamic strategy ensures the optimization of rainwater resources based on local weather dynamics. CRANK is a dependable, sustainable water source for various purposes, including drinking, cooking, and agriculture, and can alleviate the burden on pre-existing water supplies. It also mitigates urban flooding risks by efficiently managing surface water runoff. The feasibility of CRANK is meticulously assessed, including cost of production, profit margin, and operational expenditures, making it an affordable and lucrative solution. The system's target implementation sites are remote villages grappling with severe water scarcity. CRANK represents a significant step towards climate change adaptation and resilience by providing a sustainable, climate-resilient remedy for the water scarcity problem in Indonesia.
