Efektivitas Penggunaan Anaerob-Aerob Biofilter Dalam Menurunkan Kadar Fosfat

Abstract

Regional General Hospital Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto is a type B hospital that has a wastewater treatment plant using the anaerobic-aerobic biofilter method.After treatment, wastewater quality is measured according to the parameters of BOD, TSS, Free Ammonia, Phosphate and Total Coliform. Unstable phosphate levels cause the addition of microorganisms every day in equalization tanks. The purpose of the study was to analyze the wastewater treatment plant of Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto in reducing phosphate levels. The research was descriptive in which the researcher observed the hospital wastewater treatment plan of Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto to see the results of the existing phosphate levels from laboratory tests that had gone through the anaerobic-aerobic biofilter system. The results of the study showed that after going through the Anaerobic-Aerobic Biofilter process, the phosphate levels decreased and met the requirements (1.68 mg /L, 1.90 mg / L and 1.40 mg /L ). The effectiveness of the reduction was equal to 34.44%. The researcher suggested the hospital reduce the use of microorganisms that were put into the equalization tank and monitor and implement the Standard Operating Procedure for wastewater treatment plant according to the Treatment Process of the Wastewater Treatment Plant with anaerobic-aerobic biofilter system.

ABSTRAK

Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto merupakan rumah sakit tipe B yang telah memiliki instalasi pengolahan air limbah dengan metode anaerob-aerob biofilter. Setelah dilakukan pengolahan, kualitas air limbah diukur sesuai dengan parameter BOD, TSS, Amonia Bebas, fosfat dan Total Coliform. Kadar fosfat yang tidak stabil menyebabkan harus dilakukan penambahan mikroorganisme setiap hari di bak equalisasi. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis instalasi pengolahan air limbah Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto dalam menurunkan kadar fosfat. Metode penelitian adalah deskriptif, dengan melakukan pengamatan pada instalasi pengolahan air limbah rumah sakit Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo Mojokerto untuk melihat hasil kadar fosfat yang ada dari pemeriksaan laboratorium yang telah melalui IPAL sistem anaerob-aerob biofilter. Hasil penelitian kadar fosfat sesudah melalui proses Anaerob-Aerob Biofilter telah mengalami penurunan kadar dan memenuhi syarat (1,68 mg/L, 1,90 mg/L dan 1,40 mg/L). Efektivitas penurunan yaitu sebesar 34,44 %. Saran peneliti untuk rumah sakit yaitu mengurangi peggunaan mikroorganisme yang dimasukkan kedalam bak equalisasi serta memantau dan melaksanakan Standar Operasinal Prosedur IPAL sesuai dengan Proses Pengolahan pada Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah dengan sistem anaerob-aerob biofilter.
