ABSTRACT Bukit Raya District is one of the sub-districts in Pekanbaru City with a population in 2023 of 107,347 people. Population growth and high consumption patterns cause an increase in waste generation which is only transported to Muara Fajar landfill without processing, thus reducing landfill capacity. To overcome this problem, the construction of an Integrated Waste Management Site (TPS…
ABSTRACT Waste arising can be sourced from residential and non-residential areas. One of the non-residential areas that has the potential to generate high levels of waste is the Education (University) area. Waste management at Riau University is currently carried out using the collect, transport and dispose method. Until now, there has been no further waste processing implemented at Riau Unive…
ABSTRACT The Siak River, as one of the primary raw water sources in Pekanbaru City, faces challenges due to high color levels influenced by peat surrounding the river flow. This condition presents a significant challenge in the water treatment process to produce clean water that meets established quality standards. This study aims to determine the optimal chemical dosages for drinking water tr…
ABSTRACT Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) are hazardous gases commonly found in waste management facilities, one of which is a final waste disposal site (TPA). This study aims to analyze the environmental health risks associated with H2S and NH3 emissions from the TPA in Bangkinang. Data collection in this study includes waste characteristics, meteorological conditions, and H2S and…
ABSTRACT Riau Province has 419,381 hectares of coconut plantations and a production of 387.9 thousand tons. The large coconut production can produce waste. One of them is coconut dregs, 1 ton of whole coconut processed into coconut milk produces 250-300 kg of coconut dregs waste. Coconut dregs contain high levels of crude fiber 33-37%. One way to manage organic waste is to use Black Soldie…
ABSTRACT waste transportation system in Senapelan District is currently still considered ineffective. This is because the existing waste facilities and infrastructure are not yet able to transport all the waste generated. One effort in managing waste is transporting waste. The purpose of this study was to evaluate waste transportation and provide re-planning related to waste transportation in …
ABSTRACT The building and construction sector contributes significantly to global climate change, accounting for approximately 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions, 34% of global energy use, and 37% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2022. Therefore, the application of the green building concept is an important solution to reduce environmental damage and minimize…
ABSTRACT PT. X Palm Oil Mill is a palm oil processing industry with a production capacity of 45 Tons TBS/hour. The operational activities of PT. X generate emissions from Chimney 01, Generator 01, and Generator 02, including pollutants such as NO₂, SO₂, and particulates. Dispersion modeling using the AERMOD View application, which consists of AERMET and AERMAP modules, is one of the approa…
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere are increasing due to improper land management such as burning forest vegetation and converting forests into agricultural land, resulting in environmental damage, changes in carbon stocks and climate change. One way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air quality is to maintain forest integrity and increase tree populations outside forest …
ABSTRACT Riau University currently does not have a sustainable waste management system. The handling of waste generated is only done by implementing a system of containerization, collection and transportation of waste to the Binawidya Campus Final Processing Site (TPA) without any further processing. The purpose of this research is to analyze the amount of waste generation and composition gene…
ABSTRACT PT Pertamina International (KPI) Refinery Unit (RU) II Sungai Pakning is one of the petroleum industry activities located in Riau province. The operational activities of PT KPI RU II Sungai Pakning produce emissions, one of which is CO, NO2, and SO2 pollutants which can have a negative impact on the environment and health. One way to describe air quality is by doing dispersion modelin…
ABSTRACK The combustion process of coal as a fuel in the PLTU XYZ in the form of fly ash, constituting 85%, and bottom ash, accounting for 15%. To mitigate environmental pollution, bottom ash presents potential as an alternative material to partially replace fine aggregates, such as sand, in the production of concrete, bricks, and paving blocks. This study aims to analyze the compressive stren…
ABSTRACT Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high COD levels ranging from 38,080 to 44,928 mg/L. The appropriate method for treating wastewater with high COD concentrations is anaerobic treatment, one of which is using an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. This reactor is effective in wastewater treatment and capable of producing biogas. This study aims to investigate the effec…
ABSTRACT Teluk Kenidai Village is located in Riau Province and is characterized by peatland. The local community utilizes this peatland primarily for agricultural activities. A common method the residents employs to convert peatland for agricultural use is through burning. This practice leads to the degradation of the peatland, which in turn results in the release of stored CO2 into the atmosp…
ABSTRACT Peat water has characteristics such as a dark color (reddish brown), high organic content, high iron content, and high acidity. Palm Oil Fly Ash (POFA) is waste from the boiler combustion process by the factory. POFA has a silica content that has the potential to be a basic material for making geopolymers. Utilization of POFA as a low-cost adsorbent is one solution in waste management…
ABSTRACT Palm Oil Fly Ash (POFA) is a solid waste from palm oil that has a high silica and alumina content. This shows that POFA can be used as a raw material for making geopolymers. Geopolymers are polymers made from non-organic natural materials. Geopolymers have the potential to be used as adsorbents in both powder and spheres form. This study aims to analyze the effect of the SiO2/Na2O and…
ABSTRACT Tenayan Raya Steam Power Plant (PLTU) uses coal as the main fuel to produce dust emissions containing heavy metals. Observations around the PLTU in the Office Area to see the impact of dust fall dispersion are estimated to come from the PLTU which contributes cadmium (Cd) metal content and transportation activities that contribute lead (Pb) metal content. This study aims to analyze the…
ABSTRACT Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) are the largest waste from the management of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). Only 70% of the total EFB waste is utilised, while the rest becomes waste and damages the environment. The lignocellulose content in EFB is very high, which is 28% for cellulose, making it suitable for activated carbon as an adsorbent. This study was conducted, to determine and a…
ABSTRACK The Steam Power Plant (PLTU) industry that uses coal has the potential to be a source of air pollution that is detrimental to health and the environment. The aim of this research is to determine the magnitude of the risk characteristics due to exposure to manganese (Mn) and lead (Pb) metals in dustfall in residential areas around the Tenayan PLTU using the Environmental Health Risk An…
Peat water contains natural organic matter (NOM) dominated by humic substances. This organic content causes several problems in water bodies, such as color and odor. Besides organic matter, peat water also contains inorganic substances such as dissolved metals, namely iron (Fe). The iron (Fe) content in peat water also causes the water to turn brown and can cause health problems, so it needs to…
