Kampar Polytechnic has a miniplan laboratory for processing CPO into cooking oil, biodiesel, and soap. During its operation, this processing produces liquid waste and solid waste. The waste released must be treated before being discharged into the environment, provided that the amount of COD reduction efficiency is good enough (63,41%). The COD content in wastewater is still above environmental quality standards. To reduce COD according to permissible standards, recycling is carried out with effluent from the sedimentation process returned to the equalization unit. The design of equalization, coagulation, and flocculation tubs has been successfully carried out. The results obtained are the dimensions of the equalization bath at 2m length, 2m width, and 1.2m height. The dimensions of the coagulation bath are 1.5m long, 1.0m wide, and 1.2m high. The dimensions of the flocculation bath are 2.5m long, 1.5m wide, and 1.2m high, with the provision that consideration meets the volume of liquid waste treated.

PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk is a tire manufacturing industry whose main need is the provision of water for steam boiler decoys. This water is obtained from groundwater and surface water such as river water which is then treated in a reactivator using one of the coagulants, namely PAC, so that impurities from river water can be removed, so the water is cleaner and can be used for steam boilers and does not interfere with a further decoy water treatment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of water treatment in reactivators to be a reference for further treatment considerations at PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk. The test result data showed the efficiency value between the inlet and outlet and compared it with the control limit set by the company. The efficiency test parameters consist of pH, conductivity, clarity measurement, and color measurement. Based on the results of efficiency calculations, several test parameters show that water treatment in reactivators at PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk is still good and has a high-efficiency value.

PT. Aneka Tambang conducts gold processing using NaCN reagents, then from the gold processing process produces waste containing cyanide which can cause damage to the environment. One method used to reduce cyanide concentrations is the Degussa method. The Degussa method is a method to degrade free cyanide in waste by using H2O2 and Cu2+ ions as a catalyst source so that it becomes a harmless cyanide compound (cyanate ion). The purpose of the study was to determine the ability of hydrogen peroxide and determine the effective concentration of copper sulfate in degrading cyanide in the Degussa process and determine the level of stability of hydrogen peroxide oxidizers in the open air. Sample testing was carried out by varying the H2O2 retrieval time, variations in H2O2 dilution factor and copper sulfate concentration variations, then the sample was stirred with a jartes stirrer for 15 minutes. Cyanide is determined by spectrophotometer, the absorbance obtained is fed into the linear regression equation so that the final free cyanide concentration is obtained. From the experiment, it can be concluded that the concentration of cyanide degradation is effectively obtained when hydrogen peroxide and copper sulfate that have been mixed in the mixing tank are right out of use.
