PEMANFAATAN SLUDGE HASIL PRODUKSI BIOGAS BERBASIS LIMBAH CAIR LATEX MENJADI PUPUK KOMPOS CAIR

The waste of liquid latex, if thrown away will cause problems because it can cause odors to the surrounding environment and can be effected to lower of nutrient content in the soil and when it enters water bodies can contaminate water sources. In addition to the biogas process produces a gas which can be useful as an alternative energy; biogas can also produce products under the form of waste which also has benefits. Waste biogas digester is either solid or liquid can be used as organic fertilizer. The aims of this research are to investigate of potentially and capability of liquid latex waste for liquid fertilizer, then it can develop becomes new technology in the anaerobic digestion, to study effect of addition of rice straw and water hyacinth for composition of liquid fertilizer. Base on the result, the optimum condition for the process was 28 oC and pH 7 with sampling data on 28th day. Liquid fertilizer composition which using addition of water hyacinth was about N-total=0,026%, C-Organic=0,081%, P=0,033% dan K=0,423%. The liquid fertilizer composition which using addition of rice straw was about N-total=0,017%, C-Organic=0,186%, P=0,045% dan K=0,358%. The results side product biogas of liquid fertilizer have shown the higher concentration value when the liquid latex waste in the presence of water hyacinth just than increment rice straw.
