THEUSEOFPROCESSOR COMPLETED WITHZEOLIT ASBIOFILTER MEDIA TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PALM OIL INDUSTRIAL LIQUID WASTE BASED AMMONIA AND TSS CONCENTRATION

Abstract

The research was conducted from January until August 2015 at palm oil industry of PT. PN V Sei. Galuh Tapung Districk Kampar Regency. This study aims to improve the effectiveness of biofilter zeolite with 3 units of the anaerobic process - 2 units aerobic process in reducing the organic pollutants contained in palm oil industry wastewater as a mediafor aquaculture fish. During the study, sampling performed 5 times with intervals of taking for 2 weeks. Based on the results of the study, the biofilter reactor can reduce organic pollutants in wastewater viewed by a decrease in TSS value of 750 mg / L (inlet) to 26.7 mg / L (outlet) with effectiveness of 96.44% (already meet the standard quality standard) and the ammonia concentration of 138.3 mg / L (inlet) to 24.83 mg / L (outlet) with 82.05% effectiveness (not in accordance with the quality standards) with the survival percentage of 50% carp, tilapia 60% and catfish 80%.Key word : Biofilter, TSS, Ammonia, zeolit, palm oil industry wastewater, aquaculture fish.
