INVENTARISASI MIKROALGA DAN PROTOZOA PADA INSTALANSI PENGOLAHAN AIR LIMBAH KARET SISTEM BIOFILTER SKALA LABORATORIUM
ABSTRACT: The treatment of
liquid waste from rubber can be done with a biofilter method, which is by using
micro-organisms attached to the filter to help the process of organic material
degradation. The changes that occur to the organic substance in the waste will
affect the composition of microalgae and protozoa during the treatment process.
The purposes of this research is to find out types of microalgae and protozoa,
their abundance in the rubber waste water treatment plant, and the quality of
waste during the treatment. The research was conducted from September 2014
until January 2015. The research was conducted on the laboratory scale through
observation of the microalgae and protozoa growth. The findings indicates that
there are 36 genera of microalgae and 7 genera of protozoa. It shows that the
highest abundance in the group of microalgae belong to Chlorophyceae class,
whereas protozoa group is in the Sarcodina class. The genus which is able to
adapt well would survive during the waste treatment processing. The genus which
survived during waste treatment process
from the microalgae group was Cyanidium and from the protozoa group was
Arcella.
