Strategies To Remove BOD, COD, TSS, And Color of Pharmaceutical Industry Wastewater In Pt Faratu, Bekasi

---

Industrial wastewater is one of many problems that cause damage to the environment in
Indonesia, thus requiring it to be treated prior to discharging to the water body. This project aimed to
improve the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) system at PT Faratu to be able to treat its
wastewater to meet the wastewater quality standards regulated by Indonesia government. To
achieve this, the WWTP was designed to consist of several stages, including equalization, coagulation
and flocculation, filtration, aeration, sedimentation, and granulated activated carbon filtration and
ultrafiltration. This project includes process optimization, equipment upgrades, and process control.
The project led to a significant improvement of efficiency TSS removal and COD concentration
reduction from 8172 mg/L to ± 1200 mg/L through coagulation and flocculation process and
activated sludge process. The sludge removal can also be improved by investing in filter press. The
improvements resulting in increased wastewater effluent quality, and reduced B3 disposal costs,
which have positive impacts on the environment, and also operation costs. However, with limited
time of internship and management policy, the best result of the proposed WWTP system is still
unclear. Further development of PT Faratu’s WWTP is needed to achieve the best possible treatment
results.
