Bioremediasi Tanah Tercemar Minyak Bumi Dengan Penambahan Vermicompost Dan Cacing Tanah (Lumbricus Rubellus)
ABSTRACT
Indonesia as one of the oil-producing countries has the potential to increase the risk
of pollution and environmental damage from oil exploration activity. Petroleum
contains dangerous hydrocarbon compounds that can damage the ecosystem of
living things around it. The condition of oil pollution on the soil can be determined
by measuring the total number of hydrocarbon components, known as Total
Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH). One of the efforts to overcome the problem of
petroleum-contaminated soil can be taken through biological methods known as
bioremediation. Bioremediation is an alternative because this effort is considered
more economical and safe for the environment, although it requires a certain period
of time. In this study, the waste treatment technology applied is bioremediation
using the vermicomposting technique. This research was conducted to examine the
bioremediation process using the vermicomposting technique using vermicompost
and earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) as an effort to overcome soil pollution due to
petroleum waste. Based on the results of the study for 35 days, the proportion of the
mixture that can reduce TPH levels the best is polluted soil and vermicompost 1:2
(b/b) and the addition of 25 earthworms with a decreasing value of 88.95%.
Vermicompost addition to polluted soil gives the best result because it can increase
soil porosity so that oxygen transfer for the survival of earthworms and degrading
microbes during the bioremediation process is better.
