Abstrak. Pemanfaatan limbah peternakan sapi (kotoran sapi) sebagai sumber bahan bakar dalam bentuk biogas merupakan salah satu alternatif yang sangat tepat untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah bagi masyarakat petani. Pemanfaatan kotoran ternak sebagai sumber energi, tidak mengurangi jumlah pupuk organik yang bersumber dari kotoran ternak. Hal ini karena pada pembuatan biogas kotoran ternak yang sudah diproses dikembalikan ke kondisi semula yang diambil hanya gas metana (CH4) yang digunakan sebagai bahan bakar. Kotoran ternak yang sudah diproses pada pembuatan biogas dipindahkan ke tempat lebih kering, dan bila sudah kering dapat disimpan dalam karung untuk penggunaan selanjutnya sebagai pupuk organik. Tandan kosong sawit (TKS) merupakan limbah dari pabrik kelapa sawit yang pemanfaatnya masih terbatas sebagai pupuk organik yang memiliki nilai tambah yang rendah. Setiap produksi kelapa sawit menghasilkan limbah berupa tandan kosong sawit  sebesar 23%, sehingga berdasarkan produksi kelapa sawit tahun 2010 dan 2011 berpotensi dihasilkan limbah tandan kosong sawit sebesar 5 juta ton. Akumulasi limbah TKS dari tahun ke tahun jika tidak dimanfaatkan secara optimal maka dapat berakibat buruk bagi lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat potensi produksi biogas melalui teknologi anaerobik digesi (anaerobic digestion) kotoran sapi dan anaerobik co-digesi kotoran sapi dengan limbah TKS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada proses fermentasi dengan hydraulic retention time (HRT) 25 hari dan pemberian suhu panas yang sama terdapat hasil yang berbeda terhadap produksi biogas kotoran sapi digesi dan juga kotoran sapi co-digesi dengan tepung TKS dengan hasil produksi biogas total lebih tinggi pada fermentasi co-digesi, dimana produksi gas yang dihasilkan adalah 1.015 mL pada kotoran sapi digesi dan 13.830  mL pada kotoran sapi co-digesi. Penambahan tepung TKS meningkatkan nutrisi substrat yang dimanfaatkan mikroba untuk menghasilkan gas metan, namun tetap memperhatikan tingkat ke optimuman derajat keasaman (pH) pada angka 6,8-7,5.Production of Biogas from Cattle Manure Digestion and Co-Digestion with Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch under Digestive Anaerobic MethodAbstract. Utilization of livestock waste (manure) as biogas is one of the most appropriate alternatives to overcome the rising prices of fertilizers and fuel oil scarcity. The use of livestock manure as an energy source, does not reduce the amount of organic fertilizer that comes from livestock manure. This is because in the production of biogas manure that has been processed is returned to its original condition, only methane (CH4) is used as fuel. Livestock manure that has been processed in the making of biogas is moved to a drier place, and when it is dry it can be stored in a sack for further use as fertilizer. Oil palm empty fruit bunches (TKS) are waste from palm oil mills is still limited use as organic fertilizer and has low added value. Each palm oil production produces waste in the form of 23% oil palm empty fruit bunches, so that according to the palm production on 2010 and 2011, the potential production of this waste could reach 5 million tons. The accumulation of this waste from year to year will harm our environment. This study aims to look at the potential for biogas production from cow manure digestion and co-digestion with palm oil fruit bunch waste under the anaerobic process. Results showed that for 25 days hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the use of mesophilic temperature, the biogas production by using anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure with TKS (13,830 mL) was higher than the biogas production by using the anaerobic digestion of cow manure (1,015 mL). The addition of TKS flour had increased the nutrient of substrate used by microbes to produce methane gas, but the acidity (pH)of substrate should be controlled at 6.8-7.5.

This study investigated co-cultivation of Tetraselmis suecica microalgae with Oil Palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) for anaerobic biomethane production and Palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment. The highest specific biogas production (0.1162 m3 kg-1 COD day-1) and biomethane yield (3900.8 mL CH4 L-1 POME day-1) was achieved with microalgae at 2 mL mL-1 POME, and OPEFB at 0.12 g mL-1 POME. Without co-digestion of microalgae, higher specific biogas production (0.1269 m3 kg-1 COD day-1) but lower biomethane yield (3641.8 mL CH4 L-1 POME day-1) were observed. Second order polynomial model fits the data well with less than 5% error. Higher removal efficiency (62-95%) of COD, BOD, TOC and TN were achieved by aerobic and anaerobic treatment of POME with microalgae than without microalgal treatment after 3 and 7 days of hydraulic retention time (HRT).

Palm oil is an export commodity of the plantation sector which began to develop rapidly in East Kalimantan with an area until 2017 reaching 1,192,342 Ha consisting of 284,523 Ha as plasma / smallholder plants, 14,402 Ha owned by SOEs as the core and 893,417 Ha owned by Large Private Plantation.Empty bunches (Tankos) are solid waste that is produced by palm oil mills in the process of managing palm fruit bunches into crude palm oil (CPO). In each processing 1 ton of fruit bunches will produce Tankos as much as 21-23%. Oil palm empty fruit bunches that are not managed properly will become waste that does not provide benefits. Compost technology using a local microorganism starter (MOL) can be used to produce quality organic fertilizer considering the process involves decomposing bacteria of organic ingredients. Compost technology from tankos waste is very possible to be developed, both at the level of farmers and private oil palm companies. This study aim to determine the potential of palm oil mill effluent (POME) as an bioactivator for composting oil palm empty fruit bunches, and to determine the chemical quality of oil palm empty fruit bunch compost with MOL bioactivator liquid waste as organic fertilizer. Through this research, it is expected that the palm oil mill's liquid waste can be utilized as a bioactivator for compost production and can be applied to the production of oil palm empty fruit bunch compost.This research was conducted for one year. The stages of the research are as follows: 1. Chemical analysis of POME waste, 2. Making LM POME, 3. Chemical analysis of LM POME, and 4. Making EFB Compost, and Chemical Analysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch compost. Compost making using randomized block design (RBD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications include: P0 = 0 ml / liter of water, P1 = 100 ml / liter of water, P2 = 300 ml / liter of water, P3 = 600 ml / liter of water, P4 = 900 ml / liter of water.The analysis showed that there was an increase in the chemical properties of POME after becoming an LM POME activator. Increased chemical properties such as phosphorus from 0.01 to 0.02, potassium from 0.19 to 0.27, and organic carbon from 0.90 to 1.30, but some chemical properties such as pH decreased from 7.20 to 3, 37 and nitrogen decreased from 0.37 to 0.05. The EFB compost analysis results showed that the highest pH was p2 with a value of 8.23, the highest organic C at p4 treatment with a value of 57.65, the highest total N at p3 with a value of 1.80, P2O5 the highest total at p3 with a value of 0.64, and the highest total K2O at p4 with a value of 2.68.

The start-up operation and hydraulic retention time (HRT) selectivity of anaerobic degradation for palm oil mill effluent (POME) wastewater was carried out in an anaerobic bioreactor. HRT between 35 and 5 days were investigated. The start-up process for the anaerobic degradation of POME wastewater was found to be completed after 40 days of operation. This study also recommended that the anaerobic degradation of POME wastewater should be operated at the HRT between 35 and 10 days without acid risk. The performance of anaerobic bioreactor could reach 90.55% - 87.55% chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction, 0.06 - 0.40 ratio between volatile fatty acid (VFA) and alkalinity (Alk), -368.2 mV to-445.80 mV of oxygen reduction potential (ORP) and 9.08 - 37.2 liters of biogas production, respectively.

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and palm oil decanter cake (DC) were used to investigate biogas production by using solid-state anaerobic co-digestion (SS-AcoD) with 15% total solid (TS) content. Solid state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) using substrate to inoculum (S:I) ratio of 3:1, methane yields of 353.0 mL-CH4/g-VS and 101.5 mL-CH4/g-VS were respectively achieved from mono-digestion of EFB without oil palm ash (OPA) addition and of DC with 10% OPA addition under mesophilic conditions 35 °C. By adding 5% OPA to SS-AD using 3:1 S:I ratio under thermophilic conditions (55 °C), mono-digestion of EFB and DC provided methane yields of 365.0 and 160.3 mL-CH4/g-VS, respectively. Furthermore, SS-AcoD of EFB:DC at 1:1 mixing ratio (volatile solid, VS basis), corresponding to carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio of 32, gathering with S:I ratio of 3:1 and 5% ash addition, synergistic effect is observed together with similar methane yields of 414.4 and 399.3 mL-CH4/g-VS, achieved under 35 °C and 55 °C, respectively. According to first order kinetic analysis under synergistic condition, methane production rate from thermophilic operation is 5 times higher than that from mesophilic operation. Therefore, SS-AcoD could be potentially beneficial to generate biogas from EFB and DC.

AbstractAnaerobic co-digestion of oil palm empty fruit bunches with cow manure was studied. The research focus was on the evaluation of feeding different solid concentrations of the substrate in the on-going process of anaerobic digestion. The solid concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 12% TS. Results of the study showed that the maximum methane production could be reached with the reactor digesting substrates with 4 to 8% TS, in which the methane produced was from 1300 to 1400 mL per day. A significant drop of pH from 7.02 to 5.97 occurred when the reactor was digesting substrates with 10 and 12% TS. Acidic condition caused by organic matter overloads lowered the efficiency of organic conversion represented in the low removal of COD, which was only 22.4%. This finding is highly significant for the waste management industries in terms of dealing with the digester upset due to the digestion of large amount of organic wastes.

Co-cultivation ofNannochloropsisoculatawith Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) was explored for biomethane production and POME treatment. The experimental results were analyzed and modeled using a multilevel factorial design (MFD) of response surface methodology (RSM). Maximum specific biogas production rate (0.126 m3kg-1COD day-1) and biomethane production (4813.0 mL CH4L-1POME day-1) were achieved with 2 mL mL-1POME of microalgae and OPEFB 0.12 g mL-1POME. POME treatment after 3 and 7 days with microalgae achieved higher removal efficiency (56-98%) of COD, BOD and TOC, than without microalgae.

Two-stage anaerobic fluidized bed is an innovation in anaerobic digestion technology intended to handle liquid waste with high organic loading and complex substrate. The process is based on separation between acidogenic/acetogenic and methanogenic processes. The first stage is anaerobic process to convert substrate (represented as soluble chemical oxygen demand/sCOD) into volatile fatty acids (VFA). The second stage is methanogenic process to convert VFA into biogas. This study aimed to separate acidogenic/acetogenic and methanogenic processes by means of limited injection of air (micro-aeration) and inoculum selection. Micro-aeration was introduced in acidogenic/acetogenic stage because the relevant microbes were facultative so that the obligate anaerobic methanogens will be suppressed. On the other hand, the methanogenic reactor was kept completely anaerobic to ensure methanogenic dominance over acidogenic/acetogenic ones. Two sources of inoculums were used in this study, i.e. anaerobically digested biodiesel waste and anaerobically digested cow manure. Both inoculums were taken from active biogas reactor treating biodiesel waste and cow manure, respectively. Experiments were run in batch reactors treating palm oil mill effluent (POME) as the substrate for the acidogenic/acetogenic reactor. After the reaction in the first stage reached the minimum substrate concentration, the content of the reactor was used as the substrate for the methanogenic reactor as the second stage. Routine measurements were taken for sCOD and VFA concentrations, biogas production, and methane concentration in the biogas. Results confirmed that micro-aeration maintained good performance of acidogenic/acetogenic process, which was indicated by peaks in VFA accumulation, while suppressing methanogenic activities as no methane produced in this stage. Digested biodiesel waste was superior inoculum to be compared to digested cow manure with respect to sCOD removal. In the methanogenic stage, digested biodiesel waste also performed better as inoculum as it led to higher VFA conversion, higher biogas production rate, and higher methane content in the biogas.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan ampas tahu sebagai co-substrat dalam digesti secara anaerob terhadap kecernaan protein, konsentrasi VFA dan total amonia nitrogen. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua buah digester kontinyu dan data dikoleksi selama tiga kali hydraulic retention time (HRT), dimana satu kali HRT setara dengan 25 hari. Data yang diperoleh dibahas dengan metode independent sampel comparison dengan membandingkan variabel hasil pengamatan dari digester satu (tanpa ampas tahu) dan digester dua (penambahan 5% ampas tahu) yang keduanya diencerkan menggunakan air dengan perbandingan 1:1. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat adanya perbedaan yang nyata (P<0,05) dari perlakuan yang diterapkan terhadap kecernaan protein, konsentrasi VFA, dan konsentrasi total amonia nitrogen (TAN). Nilai kecernaan protein, konsentrasi VFA dan konsentrasi TAN dari digester 1 dan digester 2 secara berturut turut adalah 36,13% dan 25,71%; 25,39 ml/mol/l dan 11,21 ml/mol/l serta 1959 dan 1675 mg/l. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah konsentrasi VFA dan TAN yang stabil pada konsentrasi yang relatif rendah pada slurry dari digester 2 dipertengahan dan akhir penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa ampas tahu bisa digunakan sebagai co-subtrat pada feses sapi, namun demikian perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengevaluasi level ampas tahu yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan produksi biogas dari digester biogas berbasis feses sapi.Utilization of Waste from Tofu as Co-Substrate in Biogas ProductionAbstractThe aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of co-substrate of waste of tofu in anaerobic digestion on protein digestibility, VFA concentration, and total ammonia nitrogen. The experiment was performed in two continuously feeding digesters for three hydraulic retention times (HRT) which was a HRT equal to 25 d. The observed data was analysed using independent sample comparison. The treatments were digester 1 as no co-substrat and digester 2 as 5% solid waste from tofu addition which both of them then diluted with tap water at 1:1 ratio. The results of this study showed that there were significant effect (P<0.05) of treatments on protein digestibility, VFA concentration and total ammonia nitrogen. The protein digestibility, VFA concentration and TAN concentration of digester 1 and digester 2 were 36.13 and 25.71%; 25.39 and 11.21 ml/mol/L; 1959 and 1675 mg/L, respectively. As conclusion, a stabil at low concentration of VFA and TAN in the middle and in the end experiment might be used to indicate that waste from tofu is suitable substrate for co-digestion with cow feses, however a further experiment is needed to obtain optimum level of tofu cake to enhance biogas production of digester biogas base on cow feses.•••
