Pengolahan Limbah Cair Industri Minyak Sawit Menggunakan Reaktor Listrik Plat Kolom Secara Kontinu Dengan Penambahan PAC(Poly Aluminium Chloride)
Palm oil industrial waste contains various dissolved compounds in the form
of short fibers, hemicellulose, and their derivatives, protein, free organic acids, a
mixture of minerals and organic pigments such as anthocyanins, carotenes,
polyphenols, lignins and tannins. Organic compounds in this waste will cause
problems such as increasing the value of TSS, TDS, COD which can pollute the
environment. The electrocoagulation method has the potential to reduce the
content of TSS, TDS, COD and neutralize pH. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effect of variable flow rate, voltage and distance between plates in
the electrocoagulation process with a plate column electric reactor, determine the
optimum conditions for flow rate, voltage, distance between plates and with the
addition of PAC to decrease the parameters of TSS, TDS, COD and pH so that it
meets the waste quality standard in the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 5
of 2014. The variables used in this study are the voltage variable (24; 26; 28 V),
the velocity variable flow rate (0.3; 1.2; 2.5 L/min) and variations in the distance
between plates (2, 3, 4 cm).
The results of this study found that the optimum conditions obtained at a
voltage of 28 volts and a flow rate of 0.3 L/min, and a distance between plates of
2 cm and the addition of 400 ppm PAC with a decrease in TSS of 92.09% from
2150 mg/L to 170 mg/L, decreased TDS by 92.41% from 1634 mg/L to 124 mg/L,
and decreased COD by 85.34% from 1310 mg/L to 192 mg/L. The results
obtained show that they are in accordance with the standards of the Minister of
Environment Regulation No. 5 of 2014.
