Pemodelan dan simulasi pada keadaan transien dilakukan terhadap sistem pengolahan air limbah dengan proses lumpur aktif tanpa resirkulasi lumpur. Model matematika pada keadaan transien disusun dengan membuat neraca massa substrat dan neraca massa sel. Persamaan yang diperoleh diselesaikan secara numerik. Beberapa parameter yang digunakan untuk penyusunan modelyaitu konsentrasi COD umpan 2.000 mg/l dan waktu tinggal cairan (Hydraulic Retention Time, HRT) bervariasi dari 8, 16, 24 hingga 32 hari. Konsentrasi mikroba (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid, MLSS) awal divariasikan dari 250, 500, 1000 hingga 2000 mg/l. substrat terlarut awal di dalam bak aerasi divariasi dari 100, 300, 500 hingga 1000 mg/l. Parameter kinetika yang digunakan diperoleh dari literature yaitu laju pertumbuhan maksimum spesifik, laju kematian specific, koefisien perolehan sel dan konstanta setengah jenuh masing-masing 0,589 hari-1, 0,248 hari-1, 0,515 (mg sel/ mg substrat) dan 589 mg/l.Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa waktu yang diperlukan untuk mencapai keadaan tunak tergantung pada HRT dan MLSS awal di dalam bak aerasi. Konsentrasi COD dan MLSS  di dalam bak aerasi pada keadaan transien  tergantung pada MLSS dan konsentrasi COD terlarut awal di dalam bak aerasi dan SRT. Dari hasil simulasi ini bias diambil rele of thumbs bahwa waktu yang diperlukan untuk mencapai keadaan tunak adalah sebesar 1-3 kali HRT pada HRT rendah satu kali HRT pada HRT tinngi.Kata kunci : simulasi dan pemodelan, proses lumpur aktif, keadaan transien

Abstract An innovative design approach was employed in the present study to enhance the electricity generation and wastewater treatment in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). A dual-chambered MFC with a ceramic separator was coupled with an acidogenic chamber. Acidogenic bioconversion of rice mill wastewater into volatile fatty acid (VFA) represents an interesting approach for wastewater valorization. The VFA containing effluent could be used as an effective substrate for bioelectricity generation in MFCs. A short hydraulic retention time (HRT) can be used for the two-stage anaerobic process (acidogenesis and electrogenesis), thus preventing the proliferation of methanogens. The effect of pH (5.5–7.5) and HRT (0.5 d–0.75 d) were investigated to understand the influence of operational parameters on the performance of the integrated system. The maximum VFA concentration of 1065.15 ± 5.08 mg COD/L was achieved at pH 7.5 and HRT 0.5 d. Under these operating conditions, the general activity of acid-forming microorganisms and exoelectrogens improved remarkably, and the power density obtained from the system was 4.72 ± 0.10 W/m3. The current research indicates excellent potential for simultaneous treatment and electricity production from rice mill wastewater. The use of low-cost, locally manufactured, and customized membranes and the two-stage treatment can pave the way for the practical application of this technology.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of membrane bioreactors (MBR) for organics and nitrogen removal. The membrane bioreactor was fed with domestic sewage and operated at different contents of dissolved oxygen (DO), different hydraulic retention time (HRT), and various mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) concentrations. The results showed that the distribution of DO level in MBR imposed a significant effect on simultaneous nitrification–denitrification (SND), and the optimal DO concentration should be controlled between 0.5 mg/L to1 mg/L. The denitrification was found to show the best performance for total nitrogen (TN) removal when the HRT reached 5 hours. Higher MLSS concentration led to the improvement in TN removal and the optimal MLSS concentration was 9000mg/L. In fact, more than 90% Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) were reduced when the MLSS concentration exceeded 3000mg/L.

Pengolahan air limbah dengan sistem kombinasi proses lumpur aktif dengan membrane telah banyak dimanfaatkan di beberapa negara maju. Sistem ini diketahui mampu beroperasi dengan konsentrasi lumpur aktif (MLSS, Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) sangat tinggi sehingga menghasilkan sistem yang  kompak dengan efisiensi pengolahan tinggi. Penelitian ini mengkaji aktifitas mikroba yang terlibat dalam sistem. Aktifitas yang dikaji antara lain laju pemanfaatan oksigen spesifik (SOUR, specific oxygen uptake rate), parameter kinetika, serta laju pemanfaatan nitrogen dan fosfor.Proses pengolahan berjalan pada konsentrasi MLSS jauh di atas proses lumpur aktif konvensional, yaitu berturut-turut 18.400, 22.900, 24.300, dan 25.500 mg/l. Untuk mendapatkan konsentrasi MLSS tersebut, proses pengolahan beroperasi pada waktu tinggal cairan (HRT, hydraulic retention yime) 24 jam dan waktu tinggal sel (SRT, solid retention time) 8, 16, 24, dan 32 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mikroorganisme yang terlibat pada proses ini ditandai oleh mikroorganisme yang mempunyai laju pertumbuhan sangat lambat. Parameter kinetika yang diperoleh sebagai berikut: laju pertumbuhan maksimum spesifik (μmax) 0,024 jam-1, koefisien perolehan sel (Y)  0,515 (mg sel/ mg COD), konstanta setengah jenuh (Ks) 589 mg/l, dan laju kematian spesifik (b) 0,010 jam-1. Dengan semakin tinggi konsentrasi lumpur aktif, maka aktifitas mikroba akan semakin kecil.  SOUR yang diperoleh untuk SRT  8,16,2 dan 32 hari berturut-turut  sebesar 0,612; 0,357; 0,279; 0,207 gO2 / (gMLSS.hari). bila ditinjau dari segi operasionalisasi unit pengolahan limbah, maka proses pengolahan lumpur aktif – membran jauh lebih menghemat kebutuhan nitrogen dan fosfor untuk nutrient.Kata kunci : aktifitas mikroba, sistem lumpur aktif-membran, SOUR

Abstract Constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) systems integrate an aerobic zone and an anaerobic zone to treat wastewater and to generate bioenergy. The concept evolves based on the principles of constructed wetlands and plant MFC (one form of photosynthetic MFC) technologies, of which all contain plants. CW-MFC have been used in a wide range of application since their introduction in 2012 for wastewater treatment and electricity generation. However, there are few reports on the individual components and their performance on CW-MFC efficiency. The performance and efficiency of this technology are significantly influenced by several factors such as the organic load and sewage composition, hydraulic retention time, cathode dissolved oxygen, electrode materials and wetland plants. This paper reviews the influence of the macrophyte (wetland plants) component, substrate material, microorganisms, electrode material and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on CW-MFC performance in wastewater treatment and electricity generation. The study assesses the relationship between these parameters and discusses progress in the development of this integrated system to date.
