This work presents an application to systemize the construction of ponds systems for treatment of domestic sewage. It consisted of two anaerobic ponds operated in parallel during May/97 to April/99. These were connected in series with a chicaned facultative pond. The treatment system was controlled with samples collected from the crude sewage (compound sample), in the affluents and effluents of the ponds and along the flux of the anaerobic and facultative ponds. The following parameters were analyzed: pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Solids, Sedimentable Solids, Total Coliforms, Oxygen Consumed in Acid Medium (OCAM) and temperature.

A sampling programme was devised to assess in terms of 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) removal the performance of one anaerobic, one facultative and two maturation ponds in series, for treating the wastewaters resulting from a slaughterhouse killing approximately 625 pigs/week. The results show that, in spite of poor maintenance,which has been causing bank erosion and macrophyte infestation, the system has coped with large variations in flow and organic load, reducing to a minimum the impact of the effluent discharge on the receiving creek.

Air tanah dangkal merupakan opsi sumber air bersih yang umum digunakan masyarakat. Tingginya kadar Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) dan Chemical Oxygen demand (COD) terkadang ditemukan pada air tanah dangkal yang menandakan tercemarnya air tersebut. Oleh karena itu diperlukan teknologi tepat guna pengolahan air yang relatif murah dan efisien untuk skala rumah tangga masyarakat seperti biosand filter. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja biosand filter dalam menurunkan parameter BOD dan COD pada sampel air tanah dangkal dari sumur penduduk. Biosand filter didesain dengan dimensi reaktor 30x30x90 cm dengan perbandingan ketinggian media pasir halus:pasir kasar:kerikil sebesar 50:5:5 cm. Media yang digunakan merupakan batuan andesit yang mudah ditemukan di daerah Sumatra Barat. Debit air yang dialirkan pada biosand filter adalah 0,6 L/menit. Waktu penumbuhan biofilm selama 21 hari dan pengoperasian reaktor selama 14 hari. Setelah dilakukan analisis, reaktor biosand filter mampu menyisihkan parameter BOD dan COD. Efisiensi penyisihan konsentrasi BOD oleh reaktor biosand filter sebesar 75%-87%, dan efisiensi penyisihan konsentrasi COD oleh reaktor biosand sebesar 65%-70%. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa reaktor biosand filter cukup efektif dalam menyisihkan parameter BOD dan COD.Kata-kata Kunci : Air Tanah Dangkal, Andesit Biosand Filter, BOD, dan COD,

Perairan Silugonggo merupakan area pemukiman warga dengan banyak aktivitas perikanan dan kelautan seperti: pertambakan, industri perikanan dan merupakan alur pelayaran. Tingginya aktivitas pemukiman dan industri akan menghasilkan limbah organik dalam jumlah besar. Bahan organik yang melimpah dapat menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan bahan organik di perairan sungai Silugonggo, Kecamatan Juwana, Kabupaten Pati. Kandungan bahan organik diketahui melalui analisis parameter TOM (Total Organic Matter), BOD5 (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) dan COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). Pengambilan sampel dilaksanakan pada tanggal 20 Desember 2019 dan 20 Januari 2020. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode kasus dengan pengamatan secara langsung di lapangan dan penentuan lokasi penelitian menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Hasil pengukuran parameter penelitian dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai TOM sebesar 8,11 – 11,9 mg/L. Hasil pengukuran parameter (a) BOD5 sebesar 8,07 – 24,66 mg/L dan (b) COD sebesar 26,04 – 79,21 mg/L, hasil tersebut berada di bawah baku mutu yang ditetapkan menurut Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No. 51 Tahun 2004 tentang Baku Mutu Air Limbah. Tingginya nilai TOM dikarenakan banyaknya masukan limbah bahan organik dari aktivitas di perairan sungai Silugonggo, seperti: pertambakan, industri perikanan, dan alur pelayaran. Silugonggo waters is a residential area with many fishery and marine activities such as: aquaculture, fishing industry and shipping lanes. High residential and industrial activities will produce large amounts of organic waste. Abundant organic matter can cause environmental pollution. This study aims to determine the content of organic matter in the waters of the Silugonggo River, Juwana District, Pati Regency. The content of organic matter is known through parameter analysis of TOM (Total Organic Matter), BOD5 (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). Sampling was carried out on December 20, 2019 and January 20, 2020. The method used in this study used the method of direct observation in the field and the date of the research location using the purposive sampling method. The results of the measurement of research parameters were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results showed that the TOM value was 8.11–11.9 mg/L. Parameter measurement results (a) BOD5 of 8.07–24.66 mg/L and (b) COD of 26.04–79.21 mg/L, these results are below the quality standard stipulated according to the Decree of the Minister of the Environment No. 51 of 2004 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards. The high value of TOM is due to the large number of inputs of organic matter from activities in the waters of the Silugonggo river, such as: aquaculture, fishing industry, and shipping lanes.

This study was designed to investigate the fungi associated with palm oil mill effluent (POME) in Gulur village of Tumkur. Biodegradation of palm oil mill effluents was conducted to measure the discarded POME based on physicochemical quality. The fungi that were isolated are Aspergillusniger, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. ochraceus, Rhizopussp, Peniciliumsp and Trichodermavirde. The autoclaved and unautoclaved raw POME samples were incubated for 7 days and the activities of the fungi were observed each for 12 hours. The supernatants of the digested POME were investigated for the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), color (ADMI), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) at the end of each digestion cycle. The results showed that the unautoclaved raw POME sample degraded better than the inoculated POME sample and this suggests that the microorganisms that are indigenous in the POME are more effective than the introduced micro-organisms. This result, however, indicates the prospect of isolating indigenous microorganisms in the POME for effective biodegradation of POME. Moreover, the effective treatment of POME yields useful products such as reduction of BOD, COD, and color.

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) merupakan limbah minyak kelapa sawit yang memiliki kadar Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) dan Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) yang tinggi dan sehingga merusak ekosistem periairan serta menurunkan kadar oksigen terlarut (DO). Namun, POME memiliki nutrisi untuk sel alga dalam memproduksi oksigen. Berdasarkan hal tersebut diperlukan identifikasi POME yang jatuh kebadan air berdasarkan fotosintesis Chlorella sp. menggunakan biosensor. Biosensor telah banyak dikembangkan dalam aplikasi bidang lingkungan dengan melihat kadar oksigen terlarut sebagai kualitas perairan. Penelitian ini menggunakan biosensor dengan prinsip sensor amperometris  tipe Biochip-G. Sensor amperometris mengukur perubahan arus dari reaksi reduksi dan oksidasi dan menghasilkan potensial keluaran yang terukur. Potensial keluaran yang terukur merupakan kadar oksigen terlarut dari penambahan POME terhadap Chlorella sp. ketika proses fotosintesis terjadi. Identifikasi POME berdasarkan proses fotosintesis Chlorella sp. menggunakan cahaya artifisial LED Putih 380 nm-780 nm dengan tingkat variasi konsentrasi POME sebanyak 10%, 20%, dan 30%. Berdasarkan pengukuran kadar oksigen terlarut (DO) menghasilkan nilai DO sebesar 174.15%, 154.66%, dan 138.98% serta nilai sensitivitas sebesar 4mV/%POME.

An organic modified poly-polyacrylamide-Al-Zn-Fe (PPAZF) coagulant was prepared by adding polyacrylamide (PAM) as additives in poly-Al-Zn-Fe (PAZF). The coagulation performance of PPAZF was investigated compared to that of PAZF and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) in treating domestic sewage and pharmaceutical wastewater. The results showed that PPAZF not only had better removal of turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) than PZAF and PAC at the optimal dosages of 148 mg·L-1, but also produced large and dense flocs. Compared to PAZF and PAC, the removal of CODCr by PPAZF was greatly improved at lower dosage. In addition, experimental results indicated the main mechanism of PPAZF is a comprehensive coagulation effect and chemical reaction.

This paper presents a summary of degrading organic compounds of nuclear laundry water by ozonation in different conditions of pH, hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet radiation. The degradation of organic compounds was analysed by chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The optimal degradation conditions were at pH 7 with ozone, UV radiation and hydrogen peroxide addition. The transfer of ozone increased significantly, thus resulting in decreased treatment time compared to ozone treatment alone. The reductions of COD, TOC and BOD were 46%, 32% and 70%, respectively.
