ABSTRACT Riau Province is one of Indonesia’s main producers of pineapple and coconut, with annual production reaching hundreds of thousands of tons. Processing these commodities generates large amounts of waste in the form of pineapple peel and coconut pulp, which, if not managed properly, can potentially cause environmental pollution. One promising solution is bioconversion using Black …
ABSTRACT The Tangkerang River flows through source areas such as markets, settlements, hospitals, and hotels, which contribute wastewater that poses risks if discharged directly into the water body without prior treatment. This study aims to assess pollutant loads and carrying capacity using the Qual2Kw and WASP (Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program) models. The Qual2Kw model was appl…
SUMMARY RATI JUSLIYANTI, NIM. 2110246879, Strategy for Fulfilling Green Open Space in Urban Areas of Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency, supervised by Yusni Ikhwan Siregar and Defri Yoza. Urban Areas of Bantan District are included in the border areas with population growth that continues to increase every year. In fulfilling green open space in urban areas, it is often hampered because the i…
SUMMARY TUTI AMELIA, NIM.2110246828. MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF OIL PALM-BASED AGROFORESTRY IN THE LIVELIHOOD VILLAGE, KAMPAR KIRI TENGAH DISTRICT, KAMPAR REGENCY. Supervised by Yusni Ikhwan Siregar and Defri Yoza. Oil palm-based agroforestry management can be developed from ecological, economic, and social aspects to optimize land use to improve community welfare and conserve nat…
ABSTRACT The use of environmentally friendly materials in construction is an important consideration in efforts to reduce waste, particularly plastic waste that is difficult to decompose. This study aims to investigate the effect of using LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) plastic waste on the characteristics of paving blocks, particularly in terms of compressive strength and water absorption…
ABSTRACT Tenayan Industrial Estate has various anthropogenic activities such as industrial and population activities, many activities can affect the amount of pollutants in the air, one of which is microplastics. Microplastics can be distributed through the air due to the influence of meteorological factors. This study aims to analyze the abundance of microplastic particles in the air arou…
ABSTRACT Chromium Hexavalent (Cr(VI)) is a type of waste that is carcinogenic and persistent in the environment. One method that can be used to remove Cr(VI) metal is the biosorption method, which utilizes microalgae immobilized with sodium alginate to achieve a stable structure. This study aims to obtain optimum conditions and empirical models for Cr(VI) removal and optical density using …
ABSTRACT Methylene blue synthetic dye is carcinogenic, toxic, and flammable so it needs to be processed before being discharged into the environment. In this study, methylene blue was processed by biosorption method using immobilized Chlorella sp. microalgae (Immobilized Microalgae Beads / IMB). This study aims to obtain the optimum variables and empirical model of IMB in the removal of me…
ABSTRACT Ammonia in wastewater can harm aquatic environments due to its toxicity, with LC50 values of 0.56–2.36 ppm for fish and 1.10–22.8 ppm for invertebrates within 24–96 hours of exposure. It contributes to eutrophication, microbial death, and reduced dissolved oxygen levels. Conventional are still limited, especially under high ammonia concentrations. Therefore, this study appli…
ABSTRACT Phenol is a toxic aromatic compound commonly found in industrial wastewater and has the potential to pollute aquatic environments. Treating phenol poses a challenge due to its resistance to biological degradation, high solubility in water, and its carcinogenic and bioaccumulative nature. Therefore, an effective and environmentally friendly treatment method is required. . One of th…
ABSTRACT Wastewater often contains pollutants such as ammonia, which can disrupt ecological balance. This study aimed to determine the optimum conditions, develop an empirical model, and characterize Immobilized Microalgal–Bacterial Beads (IMBB) for ammonia removal using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The IMBB were formed by immobilizing microalgae Chlorella sp. and bacteria Nitros…
ABSTRACT The rise in traffic density in urban regions presents a threat of microplastic emission into the atmosphere. Road dust now contains microplastics, which are plastic particles that range in size from 0.001 to 5 mm. Due to their little weight and ease of airborne suspension, these particles have the potential to lower air quality and endanger human health. This study is to examine t…
ABSTRACT PKS. X in Tapung is one of the strategic business units in supporting the production of crude palm oil (CPO). One of its main operational units is the engine room station equipped with a Genset, Back Pressure Vessel (BPV), Turbine, and Main Panel. This unit produces noise levels that exceed the Threshold Limit Value (NAB) of 85 dB(A), thus risking hearing loss in workers. This stu…
ABSTRACT The PT. X Palm Oil Mill is one of the palm oil producers in Riau. In its oil processing activities, this factory emits NO2, SO2 and Particulate emissions from the boiler chimney, furnace, and generator.
