| dc.description.abstract | The waste generated by the dentist clinic is in the form of non-medical waste and
medical waste. Medical liquid waste containing blood can develop disease if not
processing properly before entering the environment. Aquaponic system is a
combination of hydroponics and aquatics, also the resirculation process using plants
and animals as: convolvulus land (Ipoema Reptans) and catfishes (Clarias spp.) that
able to survive the extremes. Aquaponic system has potential to be an alternative to
treating medical liquid waste containing blood according to medical liquid waste
standard in Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia
Number 5 of 2014. The study aims to observe the value changes of the liquid waste
parameter as: BOD, COD, TSS, pH; and compare them to medical liquid waste
standard. The research is a pre-experimental on shot case study that done in four days
and put the treatment on the first day then the sample were taken every 24 hours. The
measurement result of the liquid waste parameter has an efficiency as: BOD 57, 1%,
COD 40 %, TSS 53 %, and pH 4, 7 %. All the parameter not exceeding the medical
liquid waste standard in Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the
Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014. The conclusion is the application of an
aquaponic system can be used as an alternative to medical liquid waste containing
blood treatment | en_US |
