"Lumpur merupakan produk sampingan utama yang dihasilkan dari proses pengolahan air limbah. Di Indonesia, seringkali lumpur yang dihasilkan belum terolah secara maksimal dan hanya berakhir di TPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengolah lumpur aktif IPAL domestik (WAS) guna mengetahui potensi energi dari biogas yang dihasilkan melalui proses anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion (AD) merupakan teknologi pengolahan lumpur yang terbukti efektif untuk pemulihan sumberdaya dan konversi limbah menjadi energi. Eksperimen ini dilakukan menggunakan substrat lumpur IPAL Setiabudi dan inokulum digestat sampah makanan dengan rasio 1:1 (berdasarkan VS). Reaktor yang digunakan merupakan reaktor batch sederhana dan proses berlangsung selama lebih dari 20 hari. Pengujian karakterisasi dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah proses AD untuk parameter pH, COD, TS dan VS, rasio C/N, serta biogas (CH4 dan CO2). Dalam penelitian ini, biogas yang dihasilkan sebanyak 31 ± 2,43 mL CH4/gVS, dengan komposisi biogas yang diukur menggunakan gas chromatography menunjukkan konsentrasi metana sebesar 69,06 ± 1,4%. Sementara itu, nilai energi yang dihasilkan oleh lumpur IPAL tergolong rendah bila dibandingkan dengan gas alam, yaitu sebesar ±0,00224 kWh per m3. Meskipun demikian, hasil ini masih layak untuk diimplementasikan serta diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut menggunakan rasio S:I yang variatif, penggunaan ko-substrat hingga pre-treatment untuk meningkatkan potensi energi yang dimiliki oleh WAS.

Sludge is a major byproduct generated from the wastewater treatment process. In Indonesia, the sludge produced often remains inadequately treated and ends up in landfills. This study aims to treat domestic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) activated sludge (WAS) to determine the energy potential of the biogas produced through the anaerobic digestion process. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a proven sludge treatment technology for resource recovery and waste-to-energy conversion. This experiment was conducted using sludge from Setiabudi WWTP and food waste digestate inoculum of ratio 1:1 (VS-based). The reactor used was a simple batch reactor and the process was carried out for over 20 days. Characterization tests were performed before and after the AD process for parameters such as pH, COD, TS and VS, C/N ratio, and biogas (CH4 and CO2). In this study, the biogas produced amounted to 31 ± 2.43 mL CH4/gVS, with the biogas composition measured using gas chromatography showing a methane concentration of 69.06 ± 1.4%. Meanwhile, the energy value generated by the WAS was relatively low compared to natural gas, at ±0.00224 kWh per m3. Despite that, these results are still feasible for implementation and further research is needed using varied S:I ratios, co-substrate and pretreatment methods to enhance the energy potential of WAS."

The problem of organic waste can be solved by several methods such as using BSFL. However, the residue generated from BSFL processing has the potential to be treated by anaerobic digestion. This study is aimed to analyze the potential of BSFL residue as substrate with additional liquid resiude and organic waste for anaerobic digestion processing. The ratio of substrate consisted of 4 operational option, i.e. option A (liquid residue:BSFL residue=2:1), option B1 & option B2 (organic waste:liquid residue:BSFL residue=0,6:2:1), and option C2 (organic waste:liquid residue:BSFL residue=1:2:1). The analysis was conducted to determine the optimal ratio of the substrate for anaerobic digestion based on the efficiency of TS reduction, VSD, and COD reduction. This study was carried out with two reactors with the capacity of 1.000 L (reactor 1) for 68 days and 51 L (reactor 2) for 25 days, respectively in mesophilic conditions. Reactor 1 is used to the options A1 and B1. Reactor 2 is used to the options B2 and C2.

"ABSTRAKIndustri mempunyai pengaruh terhadap lingkungan, karena mengubah sumber alam menjadi produk baru, sekaligus menghasilkan limbah, yang apabila limbah tersebut dibiarkan dapat mencemari lingkungan.Industri tahu merupakan industri kecil, yang jarang dilengkapi dengan unit pengolah limbah. Limbah cair yang dihasilkan oleh industri ini berjumlah cukup besar, dan berpotensi untuk mencemari lingkungan. Hal ini disebabkan karakteristik limbah mempunyai kadar tinggi, misalnya COD 4000 - 8000 mg/l, BOD 2000-4000 mg/1, padatan tersuspensi 500-2000 mg/l. Di samping itu, mempunyai pFi rendah, yaitu 3-5. Pada umumnya limbah cair ini langsung dibuang ke badan air penerima, misalnya empang, atau sungai, akibatnya kualitas badan air tersebut menurun.Oleh sebab itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengatasi hal tersebut. Salah satunya adalah melalui penelitian pengolahan limbah, guna memperoleh inbrmasi yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam upaya mengatasi masalah tersebut.Penelitian yang telah dilakukan ialah mengenai pengolahan limbah cair pabrik tahu secara anaerob menggunakan reaktor UASB berbentuk tabung dengan masukan influen dari bawah, dan keluaran efluen dari bagian alas.Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat efisiensi reaktor, melalui penganekaragaman waktu tinggal dalam reaktor (Hydraulic Retention Time =HRT), yaitu berturut 12, 6, dan 4 jam.Efisiensi reaktor diamati melalui tingkat penurunan COD, padatan tersuspensi, padatan volatil, dan BOD. Selain itu diamati pula perilaku pH, suhu, dan alkalinitas selama proses. Kondisi operasi yang diberlakukan pada proses ini ialah pada pH 7-7,5; suhu kamar, dan alkalinitas 2000 - 3000 mg CaCO311.Percobaan dilakukan di dalam reaktor UASB yang terbuat dari gelas, dengan ukuran volume 13,51 diameter 10 cm, dan tinggi 150 cm. Reaktor dilengkapi dengan pampa yang mempunyai head 6m guna memasukkan umpan ke dalamnya. Percobaan secara sinambung, sampai diperoleh keadaan stabil, yaitu tercapainya tingkat penyisihan COD yang relatif tetap.Hasil dan kesimpulan yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah:1. Pengamatan perilaku COD, pH, alkalinitas, padatan tersuspensi, dan padatan volatil, menunjukkan pola yang sama, yaitu bentuk logaritmik Y= k+abX, sedangkan perilaku suhu Y= a+bX.2. Hasil yang dicapai pada pengolahan dengan HRT 12, 6, dan 4 jam berturutturut adalah penurunan COD = 60%, 51%, dan 30%; BOD = 59%, 48%, dan 29%; padatan tersuspensi = 30%, 29%, dan 26%; padatanvolatil = 50%, 46%, dan 28%; sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa efisiensi tertinggi dicapai pada pengolahan dengan HRT 12 jam, jadi semakin kecil HRT, efisiensi yang diperoleh semakin rendah.3. Dan hasil efisiensi tersebut disimpulkan bahwa efluen yang diperoleh belum memenuhi syarat baku mutu limbah cair sesuai dengan SKGub.KDKI 5821 1995. Oleh karena itu, reaktor UASB yang diteliti tidak dapat digunakan sebagai unit tunggal pengolah limbah cair pabrik tahu, melainkan hams dilengkapi dengan unit pendukung seperti unit fsika kimia atau menggunakan reaktor UASB lebih dari satu.;Tofu Wastewater Treatment Using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) ReactorIndustries influence our environment by converting natural resources, and at the same time creating wastes as its by product.

ABSTRACT

This is because of the characteristic of' the waste stream that contain high COD level 4000-8000 mg/1,BOD level 2000-4000 mg/I, Suspended Solid 500- mg 1, as well as pH level 3-5. Frequently, this waste stream flow to receiving water without proper treatment, thus lowering water quality in our river. Control measures to overcome this problem is therefore necessary. One way to provide rim with good control measure is research in wastewater treatment technology.

This research is concerned with the treatment of wastewater from tofu industry in UASB reactor (column reactor in which the wastewater enters the reactor at the bottom and then flows in upward direction to the effluent). The overall aim is to investigate removal efficiency in various HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time), namely 12, 6, and 4 hours.

Removal efficiency is measured in terms of COD removal, Suspended Solid removal, Volatile Solid removal, and BOD removal. In addition, observation on the fluctuation of pH level, temperature, and alkalinity are also carried out during the process. Operating condition is set in pH level 7-7.5; normal room temperature; and alkalinity in the range of 2000-3000 mg CaCOil. Wastewater is taken from tofu factory in Kukusan Village (Depok). Paunch manure taken from Cakung Slaugther House is used as bacterial seed. UASB reactor used in this test is made of glass with 13.5 1 in volume, 10 cm in diameter, 150 cm in height. The handy pump with 6 m head are employed to feed the reactor. The reactor operates continuosly until it reaches steady state condition that characterized by constant COD removal.

The results are follow:

1. The behaviour of COD, pH, Alkalinity, Suspended Solid, and Volatil Solid can express as Y = k+abX. Temperature behaviour can express as Y = a+bX.

2. Removal efficiency for each HRT can reported as the following:

a. 12 hours retention time result in 60% COD , 59% BOD reduction, 30% Suspended Solid reduction, and 49% Volatil Solid reduction.

b. 6 hours retention time result in 51% COD reduction, 48% BOD reduction, 29% Suspended Solid reduction 46%, and Volatil Solid re

duction.

c. 4 hours retention time result in 30% COD reduction, 29%BOD reduction, 26% Suspended Solid reduction, and 28% Volatil Solid reduction. The highest removal efficiency reached by 12 hours HRT

3. From those result, it was concluded that the UASB effluent still above threshold

limit level indicated in SKGUB.KDKI NO:582/1995. For that reason additional physical and chemical treatment units are required, or using more than one reactor."
