| Summary: | Water pollution result waste from dismissal from work remains as processing plant palm oil is either pollution problem by is being faced our country. This polluted material removal already gets the attention since lately with use conventional method as reaction separation membrane, catalysis photograph, adsorption, flocculation, absorption and filtration. The cost to treat POME is very high lately. In order to find the alternative to solve the problem, this research is come out to study the effect of agitation speed and oil content concentration by using treatment POME via chitosan based on flocculation process. In this study, scope more focused to study agitation impact and oil content in POME. However there are the other parameter needs to be considered which is COD (chemical oxygen demand) and SS (suspended solid). There were three main processes viz preparation flocculent, study rate effect agitation and impact oil thickness and concludes with simulation experiment. In phase analysis, there were four analyses need to be alert, viz total suspended solid analysis ,oil and grease analysis, turbidity analysis and COD analysis. Final result show that the best agitation speed is at 150 and the maximum percent oil removal is 88.2%. In conclusion chitosan has potential to be commercialized in wastewater treatment because it is safe and have many advantages. |
