PRODUKSI BIOGAS DARI LIMBAH CAIR PENGOLAHAN SAGU DENGAN PENAMBAHAN BAKTERI DARI RUMEN SAPI Oleh: NOVIANTI RASMIN F1C1 12 012 INTISARI Produksi biogas dari limbah cair sagu dengan penambahan bakteri dari cairan rumen sapi telah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh biogas dari hasil pencampuran limbah cair sagu dan mikroba dari rumen sapi. Tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan adalah (1) produksi biogas dengan berbagai variasi limbah cair sagu, bakteri, dan waktu inkubasi; (2) analisis gas metana yang dihasilkan; (3) analisis proksimat limbah cair sagu sebelum dan setelah perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menujukkan biogas yang dihasilkan dari pencampuran tersebut mampu menghasilkan gas metana pada berbagai variasi perbandingan. Produksi biogas tertinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan limbah cair sagu (1000 mL) ditambah bakteri dari rumen sapi 18×1010 bakteri. Waktu fermentasi 12 minggu. Total biogas yang dihasilkan sebesar 17.481 mL, dengan komposisi 105,37 mL gas CO2 (0,60% v/v) dan komposisi biogas tanpa CO2 sebesar 17375,63 mL (99,39% v/v). Hasil analisis proksimat limbah cair sagu sebelum perlakuan diperoleh kadar C, N, P sebesar 2412 ; 980,20 ; 12,56 mg/L. Kadar COD, BOD, dan TSS sebesar 3699, 1137, 2250 mg/L. Hasil analisis proksimat limbah biodigester sisa fermentasi setelah perlakuan diperoleh kadar C, N, P sebesar 402 ; 193,19 ; 4,19 mg/L. Kadar COD, BOD, dan TSS setelah perlakuan yaitu 1490, 400, 610 mg/L. Kata kunci: biogas, limbah cair sagu, mikroorganisme, rumen sapi. THE PRODUCTION OF BIOGAS FROM WASTE WATER OF SAGO ASSOCIATED WITH BACTERIA ADDITION FROM COW RUMEN By: NOVIANTI RASMIN F1C1 12 012 ABSTRACT Production of biogas from Sago waste water with bacteria addition from cow rumen liquid has been done. This research aims to obtain biogas from sago waste water added microbe from cow rumen. This research steps are (1) biogas production from several variation of sago waste water : bacteria ratio and incubation duration; (2) methane gas analysis; (3) proximate analysis of sago waste water before and after treatment. Result of this research indicates that the methane gas is able to be generated from several variation of sago waste water : bacteria mixing. The maximum biogas production is recorded from sago waste 10 water treatment (1000 mL) added with bacteria from cow rumen 18x10 bacteria. Fermentation duration is 12 weeks. Total of biogas generated is 17,481 mL consisting of 105.37 mL Carbon dioxide (0,60% v/v) and consisting of biogas without Carbon dioxide 17375.63 mL (99.39%(v/v)). Proximate analysis result of sago waste water before the treatment reveals that the value of C, N, and P containing is 2412; 980.20; and 12.56 mg/L, respectively. The value of COD, BOD, and TSS parameter is 3699; 1137; and 2250 mg/L, respectively. Result of proximate analysis of biodigester waste (fermentation residue) after treatment shows that the value of C, N, and P containing is 402; 193.19; and 4.19 mg/L, respectively. The value of COD, BOD, and TSS parameter after treatment is 1490; 400; and 610 mg/L, respectively. Keyword : biogas, sagu waste water, microorganism, cow rumen.
