Pengolahan Limbah Cair Tahu Menggunakan Kombinasi Serbuk Kelor (Moringa oleifera) dan Asam Jawa (Tamarindus indica)
Abstract: Tofu industrial
wastewater containing high
protein causes highly
suspended solids (TSS)
and dissolved solids (TDS).
Moringa oleifera and
Tamarindus indica seed
powder can be
used as a coagulant to reduce TSS and TDS. This study
aims to determine best dose and the
effectiveness ofthe combination Moringa
and Tamarind seeds
in improving the
quality tofu liquid
waste. The research was
conducted in Pebruary
to April 2013.
Value TSS, TDS
and total bacteria
beforetreatment at high
1232 mg/l, 8432
mg/l and 2,7×107CFU/ml. The best treatment was
at the dose K2:A1
(Moringa 133,3 mg
and Tamarind 66,7
mg) with the final value
TSS 151 mg/l,
while the final value TDS
2794 mg/l. Best treatment for
the total bacteria
was at the dose
K1:A2 (Moringa 66,7 mg and
Tamarind 133,3 mg) with the final
value 3,1×10 6 CFU/ml. Once the tofu liquid waste is treated, the
mean value of dissolved oxygen was 3,09 to 3,67 ppm and
the degree of acidity was 4,67 to
5,00.
