Abstract
Liquid waste in the organic tofu-making industry can affect as environmental pollutants,
for example BOD, COD, TSS and pH. Disposal of tofu liquid waste to water bodies
without processing will improve the quality of the environment. As happened what
happened in the settlement of Bukit Sangkal Palembang Village which eliminated the
unpleasant problem caused by the release of tofu liquid waste. Therefore, it is necessary
to process liquid waste from the tofu industry in Palembang, one of which uses ceramic
membranes. This research uses the principle of utilizing biomass waste as the base
material for making activated carbon which then becomes a ceramic membrane. The
membrane composition made has three variations, namely membrane A (30% bagasse
activated carbon and 70% clay), membrane B (15% bagasse activated carbon, 15%
cassava skin activated carbon, and 70% clay), and membrane C (30% activated carbon of
cassava skin and 70% clay). Variation of treatments in this study is that variations in
membrane variation in processing with independent variables consist of operating
pressure (0 psig and 10 psig), flow rate (1 L / minute, 3 L / minute, and 5 L / minute), and
operating time (30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes). From the results of processing,
the best operating results from each membrane were obtained. 0 psig pressure with a flow
rate of 1 L / minute for membrane A and a pressure of 0 psig with a flow rate of 3 L /
minute for membrane B and membrane C. Based on the best operation of each
membrane, carried out during effective treatment of Effective Microorganisms 4 ( EM4)
in tofu liquid waste to be processed. The best processing results using membrane C and
addition of EM4 with BOD analysis of 82 mg / L, COD 241 mg / L, TSS 31.6 mg / L,
and pH 6.55.

Flow Rate of 5 Liter / Minute.
Overall it can be seen that the
outlet of the liquid waste processing
know using membrane led to a rise in
the value of the higher TSS of the inlet.
The higher the pressure and flow rate,
then the value of the TSS will be higher,
Image 4.6. PH Test Results on Flow low. The lower the pressure, then the
Rate of 1 L / minute. greater the pH toward the neutral.
