Analisis Pengolahan Effluent Two-Stages Uasb Reactor Menggunakan Pac (Poly Aluminium Chloride)
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is characterized by very high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solid (TSS) of 33,600 and 12,667 mg/l respectively, which require treatment to remove these parameters. Treatment with biological reactors such as two-stages UASB can be used, but after passing through the biological reactor process, POME still contain high COD and TSS concentration of 9,300 and 8,000 mg/l respectively. One method that can be used is through the coagulation-flocculation process. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum dose value of PAC coagulant for COD and TSS removal of two-stages UASB reactor effluent. The coagulation-flocculation process was carried out using a jar test with high stirring speed of 150 rpm for 1 minute and a slow stirring speed of 30 rpm for 20 minutes. This study was conducted by varying the coagulant dose of PAC 12, 20, 28, and 36 ppm with precipitation for 30 minutes and without precipitation. The results showed that without precipitation the optimum dose was obtained at a dose of 28 ppm with efficiency values reaching 59% and 67% in COD and TSS respectively. With precipitation before the coagulation-flocculation process, the effectiveness increased to 77.51% and 88.67% on COD and TSS respectively.
