Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi kinerja teknologi integrasi Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed Reactor (UASB) dengan elektrokoagulasi-flotasi (ECF) sebagai unit pengolah air limbah industri karton box dalam berbagai kondisi operasi. Sebelum diaplikasikan, unit UASB diawali dengan proses aklimatisasi selama 7 hari menggunakan dua jenis substrat, yaitu gula dan pati. Operasional UASB secara kontinyu dilakukan pada berbagai OLR dan HRT konstan (24 jam). Air limbah terproses UASB kemudian dielektroflotasi menggunakan anoda alumunium (Al) dan besi (Fe). Optimalisasi proses ECF dikaji pada berbagai variabel pH dan waktu elektrolisis. Proses UASB dengan susbtrat pati menunjukkan efektivitas aklimatasi yang tinggi dibanding subtrat gula. Kondisi steady-state akan tercapai setelah 6 hari operasional dengan efisiensi penurunan COD 91% dan OLR 25 kg COD/m³ hari. Aplikasi UASB secara kontinyu telah mampu menurunkan COD 94% dengan waktu tinggal 24 jam. Proses ECF mampu menurunkan COD air limbah terolah UASB sekitar 70-81%. Kondisi optimum penurunan COD tercapai pada pH 7,5 untuk anoda Al dan pH 6 atau 9 untuk anoda Fe. Penambahan waktu elektrolisis di atas 10 menit sangat mempengaruhi efektivitas penurunan COD untuk anoda Fe sedangkan anoda Al tidak terjadi penurunan yang signifikan. Jumlah sludge yang dihasilkan oleh proses ECFsebanyak 4 kg/m³ untuk anoda Al dan 5 kg/m³ untuk anoda Fe. Biaya kebutuhan energi berkisar antara 4,5 hingga 18 kWh/m³dan konsumsi elektroda sebanyak 0,17 kg Al/m³ atau 0,515 kg Fe/m³. Integrasi UASB dan ECF berpotensi untuk diaplikasikan sebagai sistem pengolahan air limbah industri karton box yang efektif.
