The growth and production of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) are strongly influenced by good genetics and environmental factors, including how to cultivate the soil so that the availability of nutrients is quite balanced. The long-term goal of this research is to determine the effectiveness of a combination of palm oil mill effluent (LCPKS) and cow dung waste (LKTS) with EM4 bio-activator applied to sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt). This study used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors with 12 treatment combinations and 3 replications to obtain 36 research plots. The factors studied are the formulation factor of a mixture of palm oil mill effluent with cow dung waste, which is denoted by (A) consisting of A1 = 70% palm oil mill waste and 30% cow dung, A2 = 50% effluent palm oil mill and 50% cow dung waste, A3 = 30% palm oil mill waste and 70% cow dung waste. The dose factor with the symbol (D) consists of, D0 = control, D1 = 1.5 kg per plot, D2 = 3 kg per plot, D3 = 4.5 kg per plot. The parameters observed were plant height (cm), biomass samples (grams), sample production (grams) and plot production (kg). The results showed that different waste mix formulations and administration of different doses did not significantly influence plant height parameters because compost maturity must be assessed by measuring two or more compost parameters to prevent phytotoxicity. Therefore, quality assurance must be carried out on compost to determine the factors that cause phytotoxicity and also research must be intensified in determining lines that will be able to degrade waste faster, more efficiently and also produce non-toxic compost that mixes the soil produced in plant growth. In addition, care must be taken in selecting raw materials for composting. The results showed that the mixed waste formulations significantly affected the biomass of the sample, where the highest average was obtained in processing A3 (30% of palm oil mill waste and 70% of cow dung waste. The research results also showed that dosing had a very significant effect on biomass parameter sample, sample production and plot production where the highest average is in the D3 treatment (4.5 kg per plot).

Research on the analysis of the reduction of the potential of methane gas (CH4) in the processing of palm oil mill effluent with the method of processing through Biodigester and Conventional ponds. Palm oil mill waste management system PT. The Indo Palm Fertile Core which reduces CH4 by splitting the effluent out of the inlet is divided into 2 lines, each pathway of the system aims to reduce methane gas (CH4) that comes from the degradation of organic matter present in the liquid waste. Sample analysis was taken from 6 palm oil mill waste processing ponds owned by PT. Inti Indosawit Subur Pelalawan. In this study the authors calculated repetition of sampling conducted using the Slovin technique. The measured parameters of wastewater are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), pH and temperature in each pond that affects the formation of methane gas and carbon dioxide. Analysis of methane gas is determined in 1 way namely theoretically using equations and using the Biogas 5,000 Gas Analyzer tool. Calculation of methane gas potential (CH4) is carried out to find out how much the potential of methane gas (CH4) in each WWTP pond. From the calculation of the potential emissions of methane gas (CH4) it will be known how much reduction in methane gas (CH4) in the treatment of liquid waste in PKS PT. Inti Indosawit Subur Pelalawan Regency. Results of COD anasis and methane gas potential in biodigesters The average value of COD loading on Biodigester per day in September at the time of sampling was 24,884 kg / day. Potential emissions of methane captured in the Biodigester is 7,838.46 Nm3 / Day. The percentage of potential methane emissions in the Biodigester per day is 31.5%. Whereas the highest methane gas pool was found in pond 3, which is 6.4 Nm3 / day, which was calculated theoretically with a percentage of methane gas emissions of 0.011%. However, if measured using a tool, the percentage of potential methane gas in a 3 COD pool of 58,112 mg / L is 0% at a temperature of 35 ° C and a pH of 8.38. The highest methane gas emissions occur in pond 3 during the daytime with a value of 6.4 Nm3 / Day on the first day, 6.95 Nm3 / Day on the second day, 6.41 Nm3 / Day on the third day and 6.67 Nm3 / Day on the fourth day, the potential emissions of the biodigester have been calculated by the company. The potential of methane emissions captured in Biodigester is 7,838.46 Nm3 / Day with the percentage of potential methane emissions in Biodigester an average of 31.5% per day. The highest value of methane gas emissions during the 4 days of the study was 6.95 Nm3 / day on the second day taken at noon with a pool temperature of 35 ͦ C.

ABSTRAK Salah satu permasalahan limbah pabrik kelapa sawit adalah pengelolaan Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS). Cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk penanganan limbah TKKS, yakni dengan konversinya secara biologis untuk menjadi green fertilizer. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode observasi dan metode analisis deskriptif pada masing – masing perlakuan dan ditentukan lamanya penelitian selama 28 hari. Alat yang digunakan adalah cangkul, ember, gembor, dan tempat vermikomposting. Peralatan pengujian antara lain timbangan, pH meter dan jangka sorong. Kemudian bahan yang digunakan adalah limbah – limbah kelapa sawit (Sludge, Solid, dan Tankos). Perlakuan yang dilakukan adalah meng-kompositkan 3 bahan – bahan limbah sawit dengan proporsi 100%, 50%, dan 25% kemudian diberikan cacing Lumbricus rubellus sebesar 500 gr setiap perlakuan. Parameter yang dilakukan adalah pengujian laju penguraian, pH, karakteristik cacing yang kemudian dilakukan pengamatan setiap 7 hari sekali sampai dengan penentuan waktu selama 28 hari. Laju dekomposisi bahan organik yang dilakukan oleh cacing mendapatkan respon paling tinggi pada perlakuan pencampuran media L6 (65 %) dan L7 (88%). Proses dekomposisi ternyata tidak mempengaruhi pH media, pH yang didapat rerata adalah 6. Dari proses laju dekomposisi dan pH media tidak mempengaruhi karakteristik cacing Lumbricus rubellus dimana pertumbuhannya justru meningkat. Hal ini diduga karena kondisi media yang cocok untuk keberlangsungan hidupnya. ABSTRACT One of the problems with palm oil mill waste is the management of Oil Palm Empty Bunches (OPEFB). One method that can be used for handling OPEFB waste is by converting it biologically to green fertilizer. The method used in this research is observation and descriptive analysis methods for each treatment. The length of the study was 28 days. The tools used were a hoe, bucket, watering can, and a place for vermicomposting. Testing equipment includes scales, pH meters and calipers. Material used was palm oil waste (sludge, solid, and empty bunches). The treatment carried out was to composite 3 materials - palm oil waste materials with a proportion of 100%, 50%, and 25%. The composite was then given 500 grams of Lumbricus rubellus worms per treatment. The parameters measured were the decomposition rate, pH, characteristics of the worms which were observed every 7 days up to 28 days. The rate of decomposition of organic matter received the highest response in the mixing treatment of L6 (65%) and L7 (88%) media. The decomposition process did not affect the pH of the media. The average pH obtained was 6. The process of decomposition rate and media pH did not affect the characteristics of Lumbricus rubellus worms. The growth of the worms increased, which is presumably because the media conditions were suitable for their survival.

A research has been conducated on using charcoal as a filter to control river water pollution with heavy metals from palm oil mill waste based on physical parameters in Kuantan Singingi district using SSA method. The process begin with taking sample from palm iol mill waste output, the the temperature and electrical conductivity of it is mesured. Heavy metal concentration (Zn) is mesured with Atomic Absorption (SSA). The highest electrical conductivity value before filtrasion was found in factory A sampel. The value is 8,87 x  10-4 Ωm-1with 0,241 mg/l Zn concetration. Electrical conductivity value decreased after filtration to 7,11 x 10-4 Ωm-1 with  0,216 mg/l mg/l Zn concetration. While the lowest electrical conductivity value before filtration was found in factory C sample. The value is 4,65 x 10-4 Ωm-1with 0,169 mg/l Zn consetration. Conductivity value decreased after filtration to 4,26 x 10-4 Ωm-1with 0,154 mg/l Zn contretation. These result explain that using charcoal as a filter for pollution control is uqite effective.
