Detergent waste treatment through the modification of biofilter reactors

The use of detergent in households is practiced by almost all people. These conditions make the quality environment, especially water bodies, more disturbed when waste disposal without prior processing. Hazard can interfere with human health such as digestive system disorders, skin irritation, and even one causes cancer. aimed this research was to design a modified biofilter reactor reduce levels other organic substances domestic wastewater. This pre-experimental designs used pre-test, treatment, post-test. media were bioball because has space on its surface for bacterial growth that will form phylum, while activated carbon serves increase efficiency reducing matter concentration surfactants dissolved. process effective if given treatment coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation. results showed decrease content from 14.56 mg/L 0.86 (94.1%). indicate Bio Filter meet standard requirements based East Java Governor Regulation No. 72/2013.
