Abstract

Domestic wastewater (greywater) has compounds that can pollute the environment, such as xenobiotics, organic compounds, and nutrients (from urine and human waste). One of the ecological alternatives to domestic wastewater treatment is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a method of degradation of contaminants by using plants that grow on soil and surface water. This study aims to determine the influence of variations in wet weight and residence time of water hyacinth plants (Eichornia crassipes) and the optimal results of phytoremediation treatment on domestic wastewater (greywater). This study uses a batch system with variations of water detention time, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. Phytoremediation uses water hyacinth plants with three variations of wet weight: 500 g, 1000 g, 1500 g. During the process, water is tested on COD and BOD parameters, and pH and wastewater temperature are measured daily. Based on the study’s results, the highest decrease in COD and BOD parameters occurred at the variation of wet weight of 1000 g on the 8th day with an efficiency of COD reduction of 82.13% and BOD of 82.31%.
