Abstract
Ammonia is a poisonous compound that can harm fish. Fish feed and manure are the primary sources of ammonia in catfish farming ponds. High concentrations of ammonia can cause death. Therefore, it is necessary to control the presence of ammonia to minimize the potential for fish mortality. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a technology that can help with ammonia bioremediation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) in reducing ammonia. The research method used is an experimental research method with qualitative descriptive analysis. The research was conducted on a laboratory scale using a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) reactor connected using a salt bridge. This research was conducted with variations in the use of sticky media, including without media, with bioball, and with bioring media. The results showed that the percentage of ammonia reduction in each treatment was 94.52%, 98.09%, and 99.28%. From this research, it can be concluded that Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) are effective in reducing ammonia.
