Decrease of Ammonia and TSS Palm Oil Industry Using By Biosand Filter and Mangrove Charcoal for Fish Aquaculture Media Life
(2013-07-18) Misfahani, Wira
The research was conducted from Desember 2012 until March 2013 at palm oil mill industry of PT. PN V Sei. Galuh Tapung Districk Kampar Regency. Aimed to understand the effectiveness of biosand filter and mangrove charcoal in reducing ammonia and TSS content in liquid waste of palm oil mill for live media of fish aquacultur. Sampling of ammonia and TSS were taken in three point with interval every 2nd week for 5 times and analyzed in Laboratory of the Departement of public works and microbiology then compare with Kep-122/MENLH/2004. Liquid waste of palm oil mill processing by use of four reactor units biosand filter and two reactor mangroves charcoal have can reducing ammonia and TSS with decreased ammonia rate of 148,57 mg/l becomes 6,01 mg/l with effectivenesses 95,95 %. While that of TSS from 680 mg/l to 100 mg/l with effectivenesses 85,29 %. Percentage of survival rate for common carp 40%, tillapia 60%, and patin 77%. It’s compliance with quality standard and as good as for patin life media.
