Coconut fiber waste has the potential to become a value-added product as a biofilm media and an adsorbent. The addition of biofilm media and adsorbent is important because it reduces the amount of sludge produced in wastewater. Furthermore, the quality of wastewater produced by the Integrated Anoxic-Oxic Sequencing Batch Reactor (IASBR)process with the addition of biofilm media and adsorbents can be used as clean water. The wastewater used comes from apartment wastewater. The Integrated Anoxic-Oxic Sequencing Batch Reactor was used to determine the optimal anoxic-aerobic processing time in a tropical climate. The study will further compare the efficiency of the two by using discarded coconut fiber as an additional adsorbent and biofilm media. The optimal adsorbent dose and weight of waste coconut fiber, as well as hydraulic retention time optimization, were all examined. As a result, clean water was discovered to be the primary product after the addition of adsorbent and biofilm media made from waste coconut fiber.
The characteristics of the wastewater produced by the tofu industry are high viscosity, slipperiness, and foaming resulting from the continuous fermentation of the tofu bacteria. This made it difficult to reduce the organic content of tofu wastewater, namely biological oxygen demand (BOD5), phosphate (PO4), and Total Nitrogen. A wastewater processor that is designed to handle dense and slippery tofu wastewater is known as a Sequencing Batch Reactor. The impeller is used to create turbulent flow, resulting in more evenly distributed DO, which is difficult to distribute due to the viscous tofu wastewater. The SBR was operated with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24, 36, and 48 hours and an impeller stirring speed of 50, 100, and 150 rpm. The results of the research found that there was an effect on the stirring speed of the impeller and that the low stirring speed of the impeller was not optimal. HRT that was regulated in the SBR cycle has affected the performance of the bacteria. Pseudomonas sp. was found in this study and Bacillus sp., which can degrade up to 90% of phosphate and nitrate.
