ABSTRACT
Pempek is one of Indonesia’s popular traditional foods, originated from Palembang
City, Sumatra, Indonesia. Tasteful pempek obtained from mackerel fish processing. As
by-product of pempek processing, wastewater contain high concentration of organic
and nitrogen was released to environment. COD content was measured up to
11,760mg/L, followed by BOD up to 7,996 mg/L and N total measured as NH3-N
reached 454.03 mg/L. The effluent standard for fish processing wastewater sets by East
Java Government were 150 mg/L for COD, 100 mg/L for BOD and 5 mg/L for NH3-N.
A challenge to make cheap and easy-to-operate technology lead to a combination of
biological and phyto-treatment processes that designed and applied for this wastewater
to meet the East Java Government’s effluent standard. The wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP) used in this research consisted of control box, grease trap, sedimentation tank,
anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), anaerobic bio filter (ABF) and constructed wetland
(CW). This WWTP could reduce up to 99.71% of COD, 99.76% of BOD, 98.9% of
nitrogen content, 99.75% of oil and grease in wastewater.

1. INTRODUCTION
Pempek is one of Indonesian traditional culinary which come from the city of Palembang,
South Sumatra, Indonesia [1]. It is very tasteful and contains high protein. Delicious pempek
comes from the processing of mackerel fish. Mackerel fish pass through several processes such
as washing, filleting, boiling until frying before it can be served [2]. From this stage of the
process, liquid waste containing high organic matter, nutrients, oils and fats generated [3].
Due to the high demand, some pempek home-scale manufacturing industries are emerging.
One of home-scale pempek industries is in Rungkut District, Surabaya City, Indonesia. At
average, 150 kgs of fresh mackerel fish are processed into delicious pempek every week [4].
Unfortunately, wastewater that generated from the process was not properly treated. This
wastewater had a cloudy color and smelled unpleasant. If directly disposed into the
environment, this waste can cause environmental pollution that can disrupt the surrounding
environment including human life [5].
Generally, pempek wastewater contains high organic matter, high Total Suspended Solid
(TSS), and high nutrient [6]. Previous research showed that pempek wastewater has Chemical
Oxygen Demand ranged 5,000 from to 20,000 mg/L, BOD content from 5,000 to 15,000 mg/L,
and Nitrogen content around 0-25 mg/L. These values were highly exceeding the quality
standard set by East Java Government for fish processing industry which were 150 mg/L for
COD, 100 mg/L for BOD and 5 mg/L for NH3-N [7]. Wastewater treatment need to be carried
out to meet the East Java Government’s quality standard.
A challenge to make a cheap and easy-to-operate technology that require minimum
maintenance was our main goal to be achieved. A combination of physical and biological
treatment usually used to treat wastewater containing high organic matter, high TSS and high
nutrient [8, 9, 10] and require minimum technical maintenance. Grease trap is widely known
as a unit to remove oil and grease content in wastewater [11]. Sedimentation tank can be used
to reduce high content of TSS before entering the biological process [12, 13]. Anaerobic
biological process can reduce high concentration of organic matter [14] and phyto-treatment is
widely used to remove high nutrient content in wastewater [15]. So far, research on pempek
wastewater is only conducted on laboratory scale, study about the design of pempek wastewater
treatment process in real scale has not been widely discussed. It is also considered interesting
because pempek is a unique food product from Indonesia. For that reason, this research was
aimed for designing and applying wastewater treatment plant for pempek industry to meet the
effluent quality standards for fish processing industry. The result of presented research may
highlight the efficiency of using combined biological processes in treating wastewater
containing high organic concentration.
Jinadasa et al. [26] and Purwanti et al. [27]. The effluent of WWTP was tested after 2 weeks
running of wastewater flow to achieve the steady state condition [28]. Effluent check was
performed by taking 500 mL of wastewater in the outlet of CW. The outlet of CW was
connected to tertiary urban drainage channel, so the sample taken was indicating the result of
WWTP that will be discharged to environment. WWTP removal was checked by taking sample
from the effluent of CW as the last treatment unit after the steady state. Parameter tested consist
of TSS, COD, BOD, NH3-N, oil and grease. The result of parameter tested then compared to
initial wastewater characteristic before treatment [29]. All parameter tested for treated
wastewater were also compared to the effluent standard to check whether the effluent was
already meet the quality standard or not.
the remains of unused buildings on site. 3-cylinder packed concrete constructions were placed
and connected by pipe. Each cylinder was 0.6m in diameter and 1m in high. 3 sedimentation
tanks that connected each other were designed to accommodate 2m3 of peak wastewater.
Sludge from sedimentation tank was designed to be drained once a year according to the
removal of TSS. Technical drawing of sedimentation tank showed on Figure 3 and removal
calculation showed on Table 3.

4. CONCLUSION
Pempek wastewater contains high organic, suspended solid, nutrient, oil and grease content. A
combination of physical, biological and phyto-treatment can be used to treat these kinds of
wastewater. A complete WWTP can reduce COD up to 99.71%, BOD up to 99.76%, Nitrogen
up to 98.90%, Oil and Grease up to 99.75% from initial characteristic of wastewater.
