| Summary: | Greywater (GW) is identified as waste disposal from home activites that is discharging
from laundry, bath and wash-basin. GW useful in irrigation of a garden and aids to reduce cost as
well as maintain the environmental prosperity. This paper discussed the effectiveness of
Botryococcus sp. to clean GW in phycoremediation treatment. This process involves as growing the
Botryococcus sp. in the GW which is contributing to utilize supplements in GW for its grow. The
results indicated that Botryococcus sp. is effective to reduce COD (88%), BOD (82%), TIC (76%),
TC (58%), TN (52%), TOC (39%), Phosphate (37.5%) and pH (7%) for 100% concentration of
GW. Meanwhile, for the 50% of GW concentration Botryococcus sp. capable to remove such as
COD (83%), TIC (82%), BOD (68%), TN (67%), Phosphate (36.8%), TC (34%), TOC (31%) and
pH (1.2%). Then, the study concludes that Botryococcus sp. can grow effectively in GW and be able
to reduce the rate of nutrient in GW. |
