Optimation of poly aluminium chloride (PAC) and activated carbon on the laboratory wastewater treatment process in pretreatment sedimentation pondOptimasi poly aluminium chloride (PAC) dan arang aktif terhadap proses pengolahan air limbah laboratorium di bak pengendap awal
The process in the laboratory produces waste that must be treated before releasing into the environment. One of the laboratory wastewater characteristics is high surfactant, COD and TSS content. This research will examine the performance of the anaerobic system of Wastewater Treatment Plants (IPAL) which uses a combined wasp nest with multi-layer filtration (MLF) in treating laboratory wastewater. Wastewater flows into the wasp nest media and MLF then, samples are taken at the inlet point, wasp nest outlet and MLF outlet. The water at each point was then tested for pH value, ammonia content, turbidity, COD, TSS, Fatty Oil and Surfactant as MBAS on days 1, 3 and 5. The test results showed that the combination of wasp nests and MLF was able to reduce the turbidity value. amounted to 84.3%, TSS 68.2%, COD 68.33%, Fatty Oil 63.46%, MBAS 61.23% and ammonia 25%. In addition, IPAL is able to restore the pH of the air to neutral.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
