Abstract

ABSTRACTCalombo hamlet, Semarang Regency has a population of 1,125 peoples, live at coast side of Rawapening Lake. Much of the water hyacinth covered Rawapening Lake thus decreasing fisheries production. The growth of water hyacinth has been decreased by using it as craft materials and compost, but not optimally. Need other efforts to reduce the density for example convert or utilize water hyacinth for biogas and liquid fertilizer. The objectives of the programs are approach the society by socializing about the benefits of water hyacinth convert to biogas and liquid fertilizer, to train skilled of people to build a biogas unit. The result of this programs makes a biogas unit MERCEDES (Mesophilic Reactor Anaerobic Digestion) which produces biogas and liquid fertilizer. The economic potential is obtained if all households apply them (equivalent with energy) about IDR 17.112 million per year, a liquid fertilizer about IDR 200.000 per household per day, the environmental potential reduction of water hyacinth growth about 6-15% per year, providing knowledge to the community to build a biogas unit and Mr. Musyafa has been utilize the biogas and fertilizer and have formed the structure of the organization to manage and develop the biogas unit for sustainability the program.Keywords: biogas, liquid fertilizer, calombo hamlet, water hyacinth, rawapening lake.Citation: Hadiyarto, A., Alfiyanti, Alwi, D.R., Riadi, I., Rahma, I.N., Putra, N.H.A.(2018).

Highlights

Based on the description above, the community service aims to establishment of a unit of biogas with water hyacinth as raw material for biogas and liquid fertilizer and to show the economic potential of community-acquired and benefits the environment when all households in the Calombo hamlet build biogas unit
Methode Referring to the targets to be achieved from this program where the goal is a society, for the first we are conducted counseling so that the people understanding about biogas, benefits and potential water hyacinth is converted to biogas, decrease spread of water hyacinth on Rawapening lake, the economic potential of liquid fertilizer is produced from biodigester, the area and the time to “mesophilic anaerobic digestion reactor “ build, the material for construction is required, source of funds and community participation in the development of biogas units, practice building biogas unit and operate it
The construction of biodigester was carried out by users of biogas, Mr Musyafa, Mr Munjidi, and Mr Harun began on April 14, 2016
