Pollutant Levels Comparison in Tofu Industrial and Domestic Wastewater in Ternate City

Abstract

Tofu industry wastewater have become important issues that arise in line with the increasing in human population and the development progress. Tofu industry is one of the fast growing industries in Indonesia, this causes an increase in the amount of waste of tofu industry in Indonesia, especially in Ternate (Asadiya & Karnaningroem, 2018). The purpose of this study was to determine Comparison of pollutant levels in tofu industrial wastewater and Domestic Wastewater in Ternate City. The sample of this research was 1 litre of tofu industrial wastewater and 1 litre domestic wastewater. This type of research is analytic descriptive. This research was conducted at Chemistry laboratory at health polytechnic of ternate and university of unkhair. The test results of tofu wastewater showed that the TSS parameters were 416 mg / L, TDS 1,389 mg / L, DO 4 ppm, pH 7 and BOD 62.8 mg / L. Meanwhile, Tests result of domestic wastewater shows that TDS 839 mg / L, TSS 379 mg / L DO 5.4 ppm, pH 10 and BOD 49.6 mg / L. in conclusion, tofu wastewater has worse quality compared to domestic wastewater. It is recommended that the tofu industry can take the initiative in treating the wastewater produced before disposing it into the environment

The impact of the pandemic on environmental health from the perspective of energy sector

“…However, there is a drawback in the relationship between energy and the economy. The environment will suffer from the development of energy [5], [6] and the economy [5], [7]. The role of the environment in human life is no less important than energy and the economy since the environment provides a place for humans to live and thrive.…”

“…As a result, environmental degradation will increase as the economy grows [3], [7], following the increase in energy consumption. One of the most widely accepted hypotheses to explain this situation is the inverted U-shaped Kuznets Curve.…”

Redesigning the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Tofu Industry in Ledok Kulon Village, Bojonegoro Regency

“…According to Herlambang (2001), tofu liquid waste contains gases such as oxygen (O2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4), which originate from the decomposition of organic matter in the waste [2]. Muliyadi and Safrudin (2020) stated that the composition of tofu liquid waste consists of 99.9% water and the remainder consists of dissolved solids and suspended solids particles of 0.1% [6]. According to Rajagukguk (2020), solid particles consist of about 70% organic matter and 30% inorganic matter.…”
