Implementation of cleaner production to improve wastewater treatment performance

Abstract

Wastewater management in hospitals is needed to process wastewater generated from each hospital’s activities to reduce polluters’ burden in its disembodied. Wastewater management, in general in hospitals, applies the end of the pipe, which certainly does not completely solve existing environmental problems. The implementation of clean production is expected to improve wastewater treatment performance by identifying inefficiency opportunities in wastewater treatment and efforts to reuse processed water. The research was conducted by conducting laboratory analysis of wastewater treatment results using chemical and biological physics parameters and looking at the opportunities that can be done from the inefficient wastewater treatment described using flow diagrams. The analysis results showed that the processed wastewater from the wastewater treatment process still meets the standard requirements based on physical, chemical, and biological parameters so that it can be utilized back into raw water for hospitals. Identification of aspects found in the existence of inefficiencies is humans, methods, materials, and machinery. The application of cleaner production to provide recommendations for other hospitals to improve wastewater treatment performance as well as wastewater treatment utilization. Implementation of cleaner production to improve wastewater treatment performance through identification in each process and investigate the potential application of cleaner production that can be applied to the system..
