Syntheses of building treatment and waste water management in palm oil industry to make a sustainable industry development

Abstract

The palm oil industry produces liquid, gaseous and solid waste. The waste that causes the most problems is liquid waste because every ton of fresh fruit bunches processed can produce about 60% of liquid waste compared to the total other waste. The research objective is to have a comprehensive impact on the environmental, financial, and technical aspects of the wastewater treatment plant. The research was conducted at PT. Hindoli (A Cargill Company), PulauRimau District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra on weekdays (Monday-Saturday). The research method uses a system purposive technique. Secondary data comes from literature study, ANDAL PT. Hindoli, land maps, administrative maps and field photos. The results showed that the wastewater treatment process was carried out to reduce the content of chemical compounds in wastewater. The total area of the WWTP is 10 hectares with a retention time in the wastewater treatment pond for 134 days for a production of 60 tons / hour. The land change analysis shows that the oil palm plantation and mill areas under study are in good and medium land suitability zones. The form of land change is a transition from plantation forest to oil palm plantations. The solution to the technical problems of a wastewater treatment plant is to use a centrifugal pump, the embankment must be covered with concrete, periodic dredging with an excavator or using the Micro-Lift bacteria to speed up the breakdown of sludge.
