Efektifitas Biofilter Bermedia Botol Plastik Dengan Luas Permukaan Berbeda Dalam Menurunkan Kadar Bod5 Dan Cod Pada Limbah Cair Laundry
Used plastic bottles can be used for biofilter media, as microorganisms
may attach in the bottle surface. To understand the effectiveness of the number of
plastic bottles in the anaerob tank in reducing BOD5 and COD in laundry waste, a
research has been done in November-December 2019. There were 3 treatments
applied, namely P1 (25 bottles, 11.540 cm2 surface area), P2 (50 bottles, 23.080
cm2 surface area) and P3 (75 bottles, 34.619 cm2 surface area), with 3
replications in each treatments. The seeding time of the biofilm was 30 days and
the retention time of the water was 18 hours. The effectiveness of BOD5
decrement was 48.4%, 61.1% dan 69.4% in P1, P2, and P3 respectively. While the
effectiveness of COD decrement was 44.5%, 50% and 61.8% in P1, P2, and P3
respectively. Based on data obtained, it can be concluded that the biofilter that
was completed with plastic bottles was able to reduce the BOD5 and COD in the
laundry liquid waste and P3 provided the best result.
