Abstract

Until now, industrial wastewater and domestic wastewater, including restaurant wastewater have not been managed optimally in Indonesia. A prototype of activated sludge reactor with and without bioballs has been designed and constructed in 2021 but due to several obstacles in operating this aerobic treatment system equipment and ineffective attachment of microorganisms, this research was conducted. The reactor added bioballs (RB) and another reactor without addition of bioballs (RWB) were used to treat the restaurant wastewater from a food industry in Bandung, Indonesia. Parameters observed were MLVSS, COD, and reactor pH. Seeding phase could be conducted successfully in both reactors. The maximum MLVSS in the RB was 79,003 mg/L whereas in RWB was 79,132 mg/L. The COD removal in RB decreased from the highest value of 7,895 mg/L to 4,668 mg/L whereas in RWB decreased from the highest value of 11,941 mg/L to 5,026 mg/L. The values of pH were in the range of 8.3 to 8.6 in both reactors. It means that the function of bioballs as attachment media for microorganism during the seeding phase has not been shown, however, the seeding phase in both reactors could be continued to the next phase, which is the acclimatization phase.
