Abstract

In regards to the process of "Pemindangan", there will be so many waste products, both solid and liquid which contain hazardous organic compounds which are potentially capable of inflicting negative effects to the environment. Kusamba is a village which is considered the central of "Pemindangan" in Bali. This study observed and evaluated waste treatments done by fisherman in Kusamba Village. This study found waste management from the production of "Pindang" in Kusamba has been conducted through the specialized drain systems which physically filter the solid waste using the iron wires attached to them. The process was then continued by preceding the filtered water to the containers having been added with chlorine to perform chemical filtration. The last procedure is to apply biological aeration on the filtrated water. Chemical analysis showed the wastewater was already able to meet the criteria for environmentally friendly materials based on the standard water quality.
