Proses Anaerobik Pengolahan Pome Tahap Metanogenesis Menggunakan Uasb Reaktor
POME has a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) content of 33,600 mg/L. The presence
of POME in the environment is a potential pollutant due to the high COD content which
makes POME difficult to decompose. The appropriate processing method to reduce the
COD content in POME is anaerobic processing using an upflow anaerobic sludge
blanket (UASB) reactor with the concept of Two-Stage UASB for high processing
efficiency. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of HRT variation of the
methanogenesis stage for 5, 6, and 7 hours in the two stage UASB reactor continuously
and to test the stability of the effluent produced by the methanogenesis stage on total
COD and dissolved COD, bacterial growth through volatile suspended solid (VSS), total
volatile acid (TAV) formation, sludge volume index (SVI), and biogas production in
POME processing. This study was conducted with a UASB reactor with a working
volume of 17.5 liters. The ratio of inoculum and waste in the reactor was 70%:30%. The
seeding and acclimatization process ran for 33 days with a glucose concentration of
25,000 mg/L. This study varied the methanogenesis HRT of 5, 6, and 7 hours with flow
rates of 3.5; 2.92; and 2.5 L/h, respectively. The results showed that the highest removal
of total COD and dissolved COD was at HRT 7 hours in the 11th hour by 55,4% and
62,4%.The Efficiency of TAV formation occurred at HRT 5 hours at 33.3%.VSS growth
was 24.7 g/L, and SVI was 56.8 mg/L.
