Wastewater obtained from the seaweed washing process often contains residual chemicals, as
the seaweed is typically washed using chemicals. Here, we used a biosystem to treat
wastewater obtained after seaweed processing. The research goals were to determine the
effectivity and capacity of this biosystem for reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD),
biological oxygen demand (BOD), and nitrites in the wastewater. We planted and prepared the
biosystem bin, adapted the plants in the biosystem bin until they were ready for use, and we
performed wastewater treatment using the biosystem either with or without the addition of an
active bacterial suspension. The results show that addition of the active suspension
significantly improved effectivity with respect to COD and nitrites (p<0.05). With respect to COD,
BOD, and nitrites, the effectivity of the biosystem with an added active suspension was 83.9,
87.2, and 55.5%, respectively; the effectivity of the biosystem without the active suspension was
79.2, 83.3, and 38.7%, respectively. The capacity of the biosystem with an added active
suspension was 13.226, 6.805, and 0.014mg/L/m3hour with respect to reducing COD, BOD, and
nitrites, respectively; the capacity of the biosystem without an active suspension was 12.485,
6.496, and 0.009 mg/L/m3hour, respectively.

INTRODUCTION
Wastewater is a major problem facing our environment.
Wastewater causes water pollution, there by impacting
biota death, driving the extinction of species and
threatening human health. The rapid growth of a variety
of industries has generated increasing waste, further
threatening the environment. Depending on the source of
the pollution, various indicators can be measured to
determine the level of environmental pollution, including
chemical oxygen demand(COD), biological oxygen
demand (BOD), nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, and
ammonia(Shah et al., 2013). Seaweed processing is a
growing industry in many coastal regions of Indonesia.
This industry processes raw seaweed material into food
and beverages. Concurrently, seaweed processing also
produces high quantities of wastewater that contains
residual chemicals that can pollute the environment,
including NaOH, H2O2, KOH, and KCl (Sedayu et al.,
2007).
The effectivity of wastewater treatment should be as
economical and low-risk as possible; ideally, dangerous
matter should not be released into the environment.

Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater
Suyasa and Dwijani 059
An effective waste treatment system should therefore
reduce the levels of pollutants in wastewater to levels that
meet or exceed regulatory requirements.
A biosystem is a biological wastewater treatment process
that uses degradation via microorganisms and
biofiltration via the root systems of plants. In this study,
we used Ipomoea crassicaulis, a tropical plant that grows
in sandy soil and is native to North America, Asia, South
Africa, and the West Indies. Importantly, this plant can
grow in both dry and wet conditions and can with stand
the conditions of polluted land.
The growth of microorganisms as a suspended solid is an
important factor in the biosystem process. The potential
of microorganisms in an active suspended solid can be
seen from the appropriate environmental benefits
(Suyasa and Arsa, 2013). In addition, the effectivity and
capacity of any system for reducing the levels of
pollutants is an important issue. Thus, our goal was to
determine the effectivity and capacity of our biosystem
with respect to reducing COD, BOD, and nitrites.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plants for the biosystem
We used Ipomoea crassicaulis (the local name in
Indonesia is Krangkungan). Before use, the plants were
seeded in nurseries in a mixed media soil for
approximately one month (Nailufary, 2008). The bath was
constructed using waterproof material and was 200cm x
60cm x 50cm, with a sampling port. The bath contained a
15-cm layer of coral, which was covered with a 25-cm
layer of a mixture of sand and gravel. The plants were
seeded in the sand and gravel layer, which was adjusted
to the length and width of the roots to best accommodate
the growing roots and microorganisms. Before use, the
biosystem was adapted for approximately two weeks
(Suyasa and Dwijani, 2007).
Seeding the microorganism consortia in an active
suspension
One gram of soil sample was placed in an Erlenmeyer
flask containing a concentrate of nutrients, minerals, and
wastewater substance. The mixture was stirred until
homogeneous, allowed to grow, and the density of
biomass in the active microorganism suspension was
measured. The suspension was measured until
maximum activity was achieved. The advantage of using
an active suspended solid includes the speed of growth
and the density of the microorganism (Zerlita and
Suyasa, 2005).
Application of the biosystem for treating seaweed
wastewater
The treatment was performed in the bath
described above, which contained Ipomoea crassicaulis
that had been adapted for two weeks. The effective
capacity of the bath for treating wastewater was
approximately 100 liters. The wastewater was washed
into the bath and stabilized for 24 hours. Observations
were then made by measuring he levels of COD, BOD,
nitrites, and pH at 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 hours or until
the measurements reached a plateau (Suyasa and
Dwijani,2007).The effluent from the treatment was also
observed for both color and odor. The data obtained with
respect to nitrites, COD, and BOD then were plotted
against treatment time in order to obtain the curve that
shows the maximum capacity of the biosystem for
reducing levels of pollutants in wastewater.
Determination of the effectivity and capacity of the
biosystem
The effectivity(as a percentage) and the capacity of the
biosystem for reducing pollutant levels were determined
using the following equations (Metcalf and I. Eddy,1991):

whereA=initial concentration(mg/L), B=final concentration

tR=residence time(hours).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
COD is the oxygen demand that organic and inorganic
chemical pollutants require in order to be oxidized.
Organic and inorganic pollutants can be present as
dissolved or suspended solids in a liquid. COD load is
based on the degradable and non-degradable
substances as an oxidation load in the environment.
Thus, treating wastewater that contains COD will help
improve the health of the environment (Santi, 2010).We
found that our biosystem decreased COD by 117.32
mg/L in 8 hours. After 48 hours of treatment with and
without the addition of an active suspension, COD
decreased to 70.48 mg/L and 91.12 mg/L, respectively
(Figure 1). Thus, adding the active suspension to the
biosystem decreased pollutants in the wastewater. In the
first 16 hours of treatment, COD decreased at a similar
rate regardless of whether the active suspension was
included; after this time point, COD decreased much
more rapidly in the biosystem with the active suspension.
After 48 hours of treatment, the biosystem reduced COD
to under 100 mg/L, regardless of whether the active
suspension was included. The time course was parallel
with the growth of microorganisms in the active
suspension, which started at 24 hours and peaked at 48
hours. Thus, sufficient numbers of microorganisms can
break down the organic compounds, producing organic
acid. This process helps dissolve the minerals needed by

microorganisms and plants, as well to neutralize the
alkaline media (Sastrawidana et al., 2008).
According to the Indonesian Government Roles for
Quality Standard of Domestic Wastewater, the maximum
allowable COD level is 100 mg/L. Thus, our biosystem
achieved this standard within 40 hours of treatment when
the active suspension was included and within 48 hours
of treatment when the suspension was not included.
Figure 2 shows the time course of BOD. Without the
addition of the active suspension to the biosystem, BOD
initially decreased to 109.3 mg/L(from a starting level of
224.6 mg/L), then increased to 129.7 mg/L until 24 hours
of treatment; after 24 hours, BOD decreased steadily. In
contrast, when the active suspension was added to the
biosystem, BOD decreased steadily during the entire
treatment time. After 48 hours of treatment with and
without the active suspension, BOD was reduced to
28.60 mg/L and 37.5 mg/L, respectively, from an initial
level of 224.6 mg/L (Fig. 2). Thus, after 40 hours, both
treatments decreased BOD to the level allowable by the
Indonesian Government Roles for Quality Standard of
Domestic Wastewater (60 mg/L).
The microorganisms were added to the media as an
active suspension in order to control the organic
substances produced and to use them in the
biodegradation process to yield stable products. The
dynamic pattern of the treatment without the active
suspension was caused by a shortage of microorganisms
during the treatment. Along with a change in pH, the
growth of microorganisms occurs gradually. Thus, the
number of microorganisms in the active suspension
improved the biosystem’s ability to reduce BOD. The
microorganisms in the active suspension tend to use
dissolved minerals from the breakdown of chemical
compounds under acidic conditions. Rahma R. et al
(2012) found that active suspension best influence in
lowering the levels of COD and BOD of wastewater. The
addition of the active suspension had a stronger effect on
COD than on BOD.

Figure 3. Decreasing of nitrite of Biosystem during active
sludge and non active sludge experimental period
used to wash seaweed was 0.668 mg/L. After being
treated in the biosystem, the level of nitrites decreased.
As shown in Figure 3, the level of nitrites was reduced
considerably more in the biosystem that contained the
active suspension. Nitrite levels declined in the active
suspension treatment rapidly from the start of treatment
until 8 hours, after which the nitrite levels continued to
decrease gradually.
The level of nitrites can be reduced due to absorption by
suspended organic material and/or by the use of
nitrobacters. Nitrobacters use energy from the oxidation
of nitrite ions (NO2) to nitrate ions (NO3¯) in order to
satisfy carbon needs. Nitrites are oxidized to nitrates
under aerobic conditions (Zerlita and Suyasa, 2005).
Thus, the addition of the active suspension to the
treatment can boost the reduction of nitrite levels. As
shown in Figure 3, adding the active suspension to the
biosystem reduced nitrite levels to 0.297 mg/L after 48
hours. Without the active suspension, nitrite levels were
only reduced to 0.409mg/L after 48 hours.
The final nitrite levels were well below the Indonesian
Government Roles for Quality Standard of Domestic
Wastewater, which state that the maximum allowable
nitrite level is 0.5 mg/L. With the active suspension, the
minimum time required to reduce the levels of nitrites
under the quality standard level was 8 hours. During this
time, pH also decreased, reaching neutral values (pH
7.35). The use of Ipomoea crassicaulis supported the
absorption of substances into the media. With respect to
biofiltration, this process occurred via the plant’s root
fibers, which area good medium for microbial growth.
Thus, interactions between microbes and plant roots can
help meet the need for important nutrients (Nailufary,
2008).
According to Equation 1, the effectivity of the biosystem
with the active suspension with respect to reducing COD
was 83.90% after 48 hours of treatment; the effectivity
with respect to meeting the quality standard was 81.76%.
The effectivity of the biosystem with the active
suspension with respect to reducing BOD was 87.30%
after 48 hours of treatment; without the active
suspension, effectivity was 83.30%. With respect to
reducing nitrite levels, effectivity was 55.54 and 38.70%
with and without the active suspension, respectively.
Based on an ANOVA analysis, effectivity differed
significantly between the biosystem with the active
suspension and the biosystem without the active
suspension with respect to COD and nitrite
levels(Duncan’s multiple range test;p<0.05).
The ability of the biosystem to reduce COD, BOD, and
nitrite levels can be considered when developing a
constructed wet land with the addition of an active
suspension that contains microorganisms. Based on the
effectivity of the biosystem with respect to treating
wastewater, we determined the capacity of the biosystem
to reduce COD, BOD, and nitrite levels. With the active
suspension, the biosystem had the capacity to reduce
COD by 13.226 mg/L/m
3
hour; without the active
suspension, the capacity was 12.485 mg/L/m
3
hour. With
respect to reducing BOD, the biosystem with the active
suspension had a capacity of 6.805 mg/L/m
3
hour; without
the active suspension, the capacity was only 6.496
mg/L/m3
hour. With respect to reducing nitrite levels, the
biosystem with the active suspension had a capacity of
0.014 mg/L/m
3
hour; without the active suspension, the
capacity was only 0.009 mg/L/m3
hour.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The addition of an active suspension to a biosystem
considerably improves the biosystem’s ability to reduce
COD, BOD, and nitrites in wastewater.
2. The improved BOD reduction in the biosystem with the
active suspension and was not significant, as both
treatments provide a sufficient number of microorganisms
to degrade compounds.
3. The use of a biosystem is a feasible and effective
method for reducing COD in wastewater.

Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater

  • 1. Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater JEWM Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater 1 *Budiarsa Suyasa and 2 Wahyu Dwijani 1* Environmental Master Program of Udayana University, P.B. Sudirman Street of Denpasar Bali, Indonesia. 2 Departement of Environmental chemistry, Faculty of match and sains Udayana University, Bukit Jimbaran Bali Indonesia Wastewater obtained from the seaweed washing process often contains residual chemicals, as the seaweed is typically washed using chemicals. Here, we used a biosystem to treat wastewater obtained after seaweed processing. The research goals were to determine the effectivity and capacity of this biosystem for reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and nitrites in the wastewater. We planted and prepared the biosystem bin, adapted the plants in the biosystem bin until they were ready for use, and we performed wastewater treatment using the biosystem either with or without the addition of an active bacterial suspension. The results show that addition of the active suspension significantly improved effectivity with respect to COD and nitrites (p<0.05). With respect to COD, BOD, and nitrites, the effectivity of the biosystem with an added active suspension was 83.9, 87.2, and 55.5%, respectively; the effectivity of the biosystem without the active suspension was 79.2, 83.3, and 38.7%, respectively. The capacity of the biosystem with an added active suspension was 13.226, 6.805, and 0.014mg/L/m3hour with respect to reducing COD, BOD, and nitrites, respectively; the capacity of the biosystem without an active suspension was 12.485, 6.496, and 0.009 mg/L/m3hour, respectively. Keywords: Washing seaweed wastewater, biosystem, COD, BOD, and nitrite INTRODUCTION Wastewater is a major problem facing our environment. Wastewater causes water pollution, there by impacting biota death, driving the extinction of species and threatening human health. The rapid growth of a variety of industries has generated increasing waste, further threatening the environment. Depending on the source of the pollution, various indicators can be measured to determine the level of environmental pollution, including chemical oxygen demand(COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, and ammonia(Shah et al., 2013). Seaweed processing is a growing industry in many coastal regions of Indonesia. This industry processes raw seaweed material into food and beverages. Concurrently, seaweed processing also produces high quantities of wastewater that contains residual chemicals that can pollute the environment, including NaOH, H2O2, KOH, and KCl (Sedayu et al., 2007). The effectivity of wastewater treatment should be as economical and low-risk as possible; ideally, dangerous matter should not be released into the environment. *Corresponding Author: Budiarsa Suyasa Environmental Master Program of Udayana University, P.B.

  • 2. Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater Suyasa and Dwijani 059 An effective waste treatment system should therefore reduce the levels of pollutants in wastewater to levels that meet or exceed regulatory requirements. A biosystem is a biological wastewater treatment process that uses degradation via microorganisms and biofiltration via the root systems of plants. In this study, we used Ipomoea crassicaulis, a tropical plant that grows in sandy soil and is native to North America, Asia, South Africa, and the West Indies. Importantly, this plant can grow in both dry and wet conditions and can with stand the conditions of polluted land. The growth of microorganisms as a suspended solid is an important factor in the biosystem process. The potential of microorganisms in an active suspended solid can be seen from the appropriate environmental benefits (Suyasa and Arsa, 2013). In addition, the effectivity and capacity of any system for reducing the levels of pollutants is an important issue. Thus, our goal was to determine the effectivity and capacity of our biosystem with respect to reducing COD, BOD, and nitrites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plants for the biosystem We used Ipomoea crassicaulis (the local name in Indonesia is Krangkungan). Before use, the plants were seeded in nurseries in a mixed media soil for approximately one month (Nailufary, 2008). The bath was constructed using waterproof material and was 200cm x 60cm x 50cm, with a sampling port. The bath contained a 15-cm layer of coral, which was covered with a 25-cm layer of a mixture of sand and gravel. The plants were seeded in the sand and gravel layer, which was adjusted to the length and width of the roots to best accommodate the growing roots and microorganisms. Before use, the biosystem was adapted for approximately two weeks (Suyasa and Dwijani, 2007). Seeding the microorganism consortia in an active suspension One gram of soil sample was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask containing a concentrate of nutrients, minerals, and wastewater substance. The mixture was stirred until homogeneous, allowed to grow, and the density of biomass in the active microorganism suspension was measured. The suspension was measured until maximum activity was achieved. The advantage of using an active suspended solid includes the speed of growth and the density of the microorganism (Zerlita and Suyasa, 2005). Application of the biosystem for treating seaweed wastewater The treatment was performed in the bath described above, which contained Ipomoea crassicaulis that had been adapted for two weeks. The effective capacity of the bath for treating wastewater was approximately 100 liters. The wastewater was washed into the bath and stabilized for 24 hours. Observations were then made by measuring he levels of COD, BOD, nitrites, and pH at 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 hours or until the measurements reached a plateau (Suyasa and Dwijani,2007).The effluent from the treatment was also observed for both color and odor. The data obtained with respect to nitrites, COD, and BOD then were plotted against treatment time in order to obtain the curve that shows the maximum capacity of the biosystem for reducing levels of pollutants in wastewater. Determination of the effectivity and capacity of the biosystem The effectivity(as a percentage) and the capacity of the biosystem for reducing pollutant levels were determined using the following equations (Metcalf and I. Eddy,1991): %𝑒𝑓𝑓 = 𝑄𝑎−𝑄𝑏 𝑄𝑎 . 100 .................................(1) where Qa= initial concentration (mg/L) and Qb=final concentration(mg/L) 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝐴−𝐵 V.tR .........................................(2) whereA=initial concentration(mg/L), B=final concentration (mg/L), V=the volume of the biosystem(m 3 ), and tR=residence time(hours). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION COD is the oxygen demand that organic and inorganic chemical pollutants require in order to be oxidized. Organic and inorganic pollutants can be present as dissolved or suspended solids in a liquid. COD load is based on the degradable and non-degradable substances as an oxidation load in the environment. Thus, treating wastewater that contains COD will help improve the health of the environment (Santi, 2010).We found that our biosystem decreased COD by 117.32 mg/L in 8 hours. After 48 hours of treatment with and without the addition of an active suspension, COD decreased to 70.48 mg/L and 91.12 mg/L, respectively (Figure 1). Thus, adding the active suspension to the biosystem decreased pollutants in the wastewater. In the first 16 hours of treatment, COD decreased at a similar rate regardless of whether the active suspension was included; after this time point, COD decreased much more rapidly in the biosystem with the active suspension. After 48 hours of treatment, the biosystem reduced COD to under 100 mg/L, regardless of whether the active suspension was included. The time course was parallel with the growth of microorganisms in the active suspension, which started at 24 hours and peaked at 48 hours. Thus, sufficient numbers of microorganisms can break down the organic compounds, producing organic acid. This process helps dissolve the minerals needed by

Decreasing of BOD of Biosystem during active sludge and non active sludge experimental period microorganisms and plants, as well to neutralize the alkaline media (Sastrawidana et al., 2008). According to the Indonesian Government Roles for Quality Standard of Domestic Wastewater, the maximum allowable COD level is 100 mg/L. Thus, our biosystem achieved this standard within 40 hours of treatment when the active suspension was included and within 48 hours of treatment when the suspension was not included. Figure 2 shows the time course of BOD. Without the addition of the active suspension to the biosystem, BOD initially decreased to 109.3 mg/L(from a starting level of 224.6 mg/L), then increased to 129.7 mg/L until 24 hours of treatment; after 24 hours, BOD decreased steadily. In contrast, when the active suspension was added to the biosystem, BOD decreased steadily during the entire treatment time. After 48 hours of treatment with and without the active suspension, BOD was reduced to 28.60 mg/L and 37.5 mg/L, respectively, from an initial level of 224.6 mg/L (Fig. 2). Thus, after 40 hours, both treatments decreased BOD to the level allowable by the Indonesian Government Roles for Quality Standard of Domestic Wastewater (60 mg/L). The microorganisms were added to the media as an active suspension in order to control the organic substances produced and to use them in the biodegradation process to yield stable products. The dynamic pattern of the treatment without the active suspension was caused by a shortage of microorganisms during the treatment. Along with a change in pH, the growth of microorganisms occurs gradually. Thus, the number of microorganisms in the active suspension improved the biosystem’s ability to reduce BOD. The microorganisms in the active suspension tend to use dissolved minerals from the breakdown of chemical compounds under acidic conditions. Rahma R. et al (2012) found that active suspension best influence in lowering the levels of COD and BOD of wastewater. The addition of the active suspension had a stronger effect on COD than on BOD.

  • 4. Biosystem treatment approach for seaweed processing wastewater Suyasa and Dwijani 061 Note : Mogsm = active sludge with microorgnism consortia Figure 3. Decreasing of nitrite of Biosystem during active sludge and non active sludge experimental period used to wash seaweed was 0.668 mg/L. After being treated in the biosystem, the level of nitrites decreased. As shown in Figure 3, the level of nitrites was reduced considerably more in the biosystem that contained the active suspension. Nitrite levels declined in the active suspension treatment rapidly from the start of treatment until 8 hours, after which the nitrite levels continued to decrease gradually. The level of nitrites can be reduced due to absorption by suspended organic material and/or by the use of nitrobacters. Nitrobacters use energy from the oxidation of nitrite ions (NO2) to nitrate ions (NO3¯) in order to satisfy carbon needs. Nitrites are oxidized to nitrates under aerobic conditions (Zerlita and Suyasa, 2005). Thus, the addition of the active suspension to the treatment can boost the reduction of nitrite levels. As shown in Figure 3, adding the active suspension to the biosystem reduced nitrite levels to 0.297 mg/L after 48 hours. Without the active suspension, nitrite levels were only reduced to 0.409mg/L after 48 hours. The final nitrite levels were well below the Indonesian Government Roles for Quality Standard of Domestic Wastewater, which state that the maximum allowable nitrite level is 0.5 mg/L. With the active suspension, the minimum time required to reduce the levels of nitrites under the quality standard level was 8 hours. During this time, pH also decreased, reaching neutral values (pH 7.35). The use of Ipomoea crassicaulis supported the absorption of substances into the media. With respect to biofiltration, this process occurred via the plant’s root fibers, which area good medium for microbial growth. Thus, interactions between microbes and plant roots can help meet the need for important nutrients (Nailufary, 2008). According to Equation 1, the effectivity of the biosystem with the active suspension with respect to reducing COD was 83.90% after 48 hours of treatment; the effectivity with respect to meeting the quality standard was 81.76%. The effectivity of the biosystem with the active suspension with respect to reducing BOD was 87.30% after 48 hours of treatment; without the active suspension, effectivity was 83.30%. With respect to reducing nitrite levels, effectivity was 55.54 and 38.70% with and without the active suspension, respectively. Based on an ANOVA analysis, effectivity differed significantly between the biosystem with the active suspension and the biosystem without the active suspension with respect to COD and nitrite levels(Duncan’s multiple range test;p<0.05). The ability of the biosystem to reduce COD, BOD, and nitrite levels can be considered when developing a constructed wet land with the addition of an active suspension that contains microorganisms. Based on the effectivity of the biosystem with respect to treating wastewater, we determined the capacity of the biosystem to reduce COD, BOD, and nitrite levels. With the active suspension, the biosystem had the capacity to reduce COD by 13.226 mg/L/m 3 hour; without the active suspension, the capacity was 12.485 mg/L/m 3 hour. With respect to reducing BOD, the biosystem with the active suspension had a capacity of 6.805 mg/L/m 3 hour; without the active suspension, the capacity was only 6.496 mg/L/m3 hour. With respect to reducing nitrite levels, the biosystem with the active suspension had a capacity of 0.014 mg/L/m 3 hour; without the active suspension, the capacity was only 0.009 mg/L/m3 hour. CONCLUSIONS 1. The addition of an active suspension to a biosystem considerably improves the biosystem’s ability to reduce COD, BOD, and nitrites in wastewater. 2. The improved BOD reduction in the biosystem with the active suspension and was not significant, as both treatments provide a sufficient number of microorganisms to degrade compounds. 3. The use of a biosystem is a feasible and effective method for reducing COD in wastewater. 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 Nitrit(Mg/L) Time(Hours) Decreasing of Nitrit With MOgsm Non MOgsm
