The availability of clean and quality raw water is a fundamental element in various industrial sectors, from manufacturing, energy, to food and beverage processing. However, the quality of raw water in many regions in Indonesia is increasingly affected by high levels of organic content, both from natural materials such as plant and animal waste, as well as from domestic and agricultural waste.

This organic content is generally in the form of dissolved organic carbon compounds (DOC), humic and fulvic acids, and microorganisms. Their presence in raw water can have a number of negative consequences, both for the water treatment process and for the quality of the processed water itself.

Negative Impacts of Organic Content: Increased Operational Complexity

High organic content in raw water can cause various technical and operational problems, including.

1. Reaction with Disinfectants

Organic compounds react with chlorine and produce Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes (THMs), which are carcinogenic. This not only reduces the quality of the processed water, but also poses a risk to human health.

2. Decreased Process Efficiency

Organic substances can interfere with the coagulation-flocculation process, making it difficult to form stable flocs, thereby reducing the effectiveness of sedimentation and filtration. In addition, organic substances can also cause membrane fouling in advanced filtration systems such as Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO).

3. Increased Consumption of Chemicals and Energy

To overcome the impact of organic substances, higher doses of chemicals are needed, and more frequent washing of filter media and membranes. This certainly has a direct impact on increasing operational costs.

4. Shortening Equipment Life

The accumulation of organic substances can accelerate damage to filtration media and membranes, and cause corrosion or sedimentation in piping systems and other equipment.

Factors Causing Increased Organic Content

Some factors that contribute to the increased organic content in raw water include:

• Climate change that increases the volume of runoff carrying organic matter from the land surface to water bodies.
• Intensive agricultural activities, which contribute organic matter from fertilizers and crop residues.
• Domestic pollution, including poorly treated household waste.
• Land conversion, especially in river basins (DAS), which causes degradation of surface water quality.

This situation requires a more careful and comprehensive approach to the management and processing of raw water.

Technical Solutions to Reduce Organic Content

Reducing organic content in raw water requires a combination of technology, treatment chemicals, and continuous water quality monitoring. Here are some approaches that have proven effective:

1. Optimizing the Coagulation and Flocculation Process

Coagulation is a crucial initial step to bind organic particles in the form of flocs. The use of coagulants such as Poly-Aluminium Chloride (PAC) and Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) has proven effective in reducing levels of dissolved organic compounds. This process can be combined with anionic or cationic flocculants to increase sedimentation efficiency.

Lautan Air Indonesia provides a variety of coagulant and flocculant products with formulations that have been adjusted for various raw water characteristics in Indonesia, as well as dosage testing services and automatic injection system installation.

2. Special Media-Based Filtration

After the sedimentation process, filtration uses media such as:

• Silica sand and anthracite to remove suspended particles,
• Activated carbon to absorb organic compounds, odors, and tastes,
• DMI-65 to reduce heavy metals and capture certain organic compounds,

These media are an important step in reducing organic levels before entering the advanced processing stage.

Lautan Air Indonesia provides a variety of high-quality filtration media, including coconut shell and coal-based activated carbon, as well as DMI-65 for more complex filtration needs.

3. Utilization of Membrane Technology

Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems have the ability to filter organic particles and molecules with high precision. However, for membrane technology to function optimally, it needs to be supported by an adequate pretreatment system to prevent fouling.

Lautan Air Indonesia provides UF and RO systems complete with pretreatment designs, antiscalants, membrane cleaning chemicals (CIP chemicals), and integrated automatic control systems.

4. Oxidation and Disinfection Process

The use of ozone and UV light has been proven to destroy complex organic compounds and microorganisms. This process not only reduces organic levels, but also increases the safety of water from a microbiological perspective.

Secondary clarifiers are an integral component of wastewater treatment systems, facilitating the critical separation of activated sludge biomass from biologically treated effluents. A common operational challenge is the presence of floating solids in secondary clarifiers. This condition negatively impacts the quality of the final effluent and the overall efficiency of the treatment process.

A comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to solids floating in secondary clarifiers is essential for effective operational management. What are the main mechanisms driving this phenomenon?

In addition, what proactive strategies can be implemented to mitigate and prevent its occurrence, thereby ensuring continued and optimal performance of the wastewater treatment system?

Solids Floating in Secondary Clarifiers

In principle, secondary clarifiers function to settle activated sludge after the aeration process, so that the wastewater that comes out of the system has a quality that meets environmental quality standards. However, in practice, sludge flotation or floating sludge is often found, namely a condition where the activated sludge does not settle, but instead floats on the surface.

This problem can appear suddenly or gradually, and is often accompanied by a decrease in effluent quality, such as an increase in TSS (Total Suspended Solids) or COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand).

When solids float, the clarifier system loses its basic function. Activated sludge that should be returned to the aeration pond (Return Activated Sludge – RAS) or partially discharged as excess sludge, is instead retained on the surface. This causes an imbalance in the mass of microorganisms, potential short circuiting in the clarifier, and an increased risk of biomass release into the environment.

Serious Impact on WWTP Performance

The problem of floating solids is not something that can be ignored. If not handled immediately, the impact can be widespread.

1. Decrease in Effluent Water Quality

Floating sludge that is carried into the effluent causes an increase in TSS and may contain pathogenic microorganisms, nitrogen, and phosphorus that are not properly degraded. This risks causing failure to meet environmental quality standards.

2. Decreased Process Efficiency

With the retention of activated sludge, the amount of biomass in the system becomes unstable. This affects the system’s ability to break down organic loads (BOD and COD) and ultimately decreases the efficiency of the biological process.

3. Overloading the Tertiary Treatment System

If the facility has an advanced filtration process, increased TSS can cause overloading and accelerate fouling of the filter or membrane system.

4. Operational Issues and Additional Costs

Floating sludge requires extra handling, both manually and chemically, which of course has an impact on increasing operational costs and the need for additional labor.

Identify Causes and Integrated Corrections

Before taking corrective action, it is important to identify the root cause of the floating solids. Some common causes include:

1. Lack of Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

If the DO level in the aeration basin is too low, bacteria will switch to anoxic or anaerobic conditions, producing gases such as methane or nitrogen. These gases become trapped in the sludge floc and cause the floc to float in the clarifier.

2. Sludge Bulking

Sludge bulking occurs when the sludge floc becomes light and does not settle properly. This is often caused by the growth of excess filaments such as Nocardia, Microthrix parvicella, or Type 021N, which have the ability to float.

3. Organic Overload

When the organic load is too high, the system cannot completely decompose the organic compounds. This can accelerate the formation of gases in the floc and cause flotation.

4. Suboptimal Return Sludge Rate

Setting the return sludge rate (RAS) too low causes the activated sludge to settle too long at the bottom of the clarifier, resulting in local anaerobic conditions and gas production.

5. Chemical Dosage Errors

Using inappropriate chemicals such as polymers, coagulants, or defoamers can also worsen flocculation and cause the sludge to be lighter or form bubbles.

In various industries, from manufacturing, food and beverage, to the health sector, water is not just a complement, but a vital component. However, often the quality of raw water does not meet the expected standards, one of which is indicated by an unpleasant odor that is disturbing.

The problem of odor in raw water is not just a matter of comfort. This is an indicator of biological or chemical contamination which, if not handled properly, can disrupt the production process, reduce product quality, and create negative perceptions from consumers towards your brand.

The Impact of Bad Odors in Raw Water

A strange odor in raw water indicates that the water is not naturally clean, and potentially contains hazardous substances. Some of the impacts that can arise include:

1. Decrease in the Quality of the Final Product

The food, beverage and cosmetic industries are highly dependent on water quality. Odors in water can alter the taste, aroma or stability of a product. Consumers will immediately notice a difference in quality, even if there is only a small sensory change.

2. Disruption in the Production Process

Water odor is generally related to the presence of complex organic compounds, microorganisms, or gas compounds such as H₂S. These substances can interfere with chemical reactions, fermentation, or sanitation processes that require stable water conditions.

3. Increases the Risk of Corrosion and Fouling

Some odor-causing substances such as sulfur compounds, iron, and manganese can trigger corrosion in pipes and industrial equipment. In addition, the accumulation of organic materials in the piping system also accelerates fouling, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the system.

4. Difficulty Meeting Regulatory Standards

Smelly water indicates that there are water parameters that exceed safe limits, such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), or microbes. This makes it difficult for industries to meet industrial water quality standards, SNI, or even certain export standards.

5. Affect the Company’s Image

Especially in the hospitality industry such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals, the smell of tap water or bathrooms will immediately create a negative experience for users. In the digital age, customer complaints about water quality can spread quickly and affect the reputation of a business widely.

Causes of Bad Odor in Raw Water

To effectively address odor issues, it is important to understand what causes them. In general, the causes of odor in raw water can be classified into several categories:

1. Activity of Microorganisms

Bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms can produce organic compounds that cause odor, especially in stagnant surface water. The two main compounds are:

• Geosmin – Causes an earthy or mossy odor, usually from cyanobacteria.
• MIB (Methyl Isoborneol) – Causes a musty or moldy odor, also produced by algae and aquatic microorganisms.

2. Dissolved Gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)

This gas gives a distinctive odor like rotten eggs and is commonly found in groundwater or water that has anaerobic conditions. H₂S appears due to the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria that thrive in low-oxygen environments.

3. Dissolved Organic Matter

Organic materials such as rotting leaves, moss, and agricultural waste can decompose and produce unpleasant odors. These substances also increase the organic load (COD/TOC) which burdens the water treatment process.

4. Contamination from Industrial or Domestic Waste

Water contaminated with household or industrial waste often carries chemical compounds such as phenol, ammonia, or detergents that produce a sharp, pungent, or even chemical-like odor.

5. Heavy Metals and Minerals

Water with high iron and manganese content can cause a strong metallic odor. In addition, both can stain clothing, equipment, and ruin the aesthetics of the water.

6. Environmental Conditions

Long dry seasons that reduce the volume of river or reservoir water can cause an increase in the concentration of odor-causing compounds. In addition, changes in water temperature also affect the growth of microorganisms.

Odor Treatment Solutions in Raw Water

The problem of odor in raw water cannot be solved with a single solution. An integrated approach is needed that combines source analysis and appropriate treatment strategies. Here are some methods that have proven effective:

1. Water Quality Testing and Technical Consultation

Before determining a treatment system, it is essential to conduct comprehensive laboratory testing, including:

• Organic parameters: COD, TOC, BOD
• Microbiological content
• Dissolved metal and gas content

Lautan Air Indonesia provides complete water analysis services along with technical consulting support to design systems that suit customer specific needs.

2. Aeration System

Aeration is used to remove dissolved gases such as H₂S, enhance oxidation of metals such as iron and manganese, and help control the growth of anaerobic microorganisms. Aeration systems can be designed mechanically or with venturi technology.

3. Ozonization (Ozone Treatment)

Ozon adalah oksidator kuat yang mampu menghancurkan senyawa organik kompleks, membunuh mikroorganisme penyebab bau, serta memperbaiki kualitas warna dan rasa air. Ozonisasi juga tidak meninggalkan residu berbahaya seperti halnya disinfektan kimia.

4. Activated Carbon

Adsorption technology using activated carbon is very effective in removing odor, taste, and color from water. Activated carbon absorbs small organic compounds such as geosmin and MIB.

Lautan Air Indonesia provides various types of activated carbon—granular and powder—based on coconut shells and coal.

5. Coagulation and Flocculation

To handle odors caused by dissolved organic matter, a combination of coagulants and flocculants is needed to precipitate fine particles and odor-causing compounds. Types of coagulants such as PAC, ACH, or Aluminum Sulfate can be used according to water characteristics.

Lautan Air Indonesia has a coagulant plant in Indonesia, ensuring fast distribution and stable supply of water treatment chemicals.

6. Multi-Stage Filtration

The use of layered media filters such as silica sand, anthracite, DMI-65, and activated carbon can filter pollutants physically and chemically. This filtration system can be used as part of a pre-treatment or post-treatment unit.

7. UV Light for Disinfection

UV disinfection is very effective in deactivating bacteria and algae that contribute to odor. This technology does not use chemicals and does not produce harmful by-products.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water filtration technology that is very effective in producing clean water with high quality. However, one of the main challenges in operating an RO system is the low recovery rate, which is the percentage of raw water that is successfully converted into clean water. If the recovery rate is low, then the volume of water wasted as reject (brine) becomes greater, increasing operational costs and reducing the efficiency of water use.

Many industries and water treatment facilities face this obstacle. They want to increase the recovery rate to optimize raw water consumption and reduce waste disposal costs, but often face various obstacles, such as:

• Membrane Fouling – Accumulation of contaminants on the membrane that inhibits its performance.
• Scaling – Mineral deposits that reduce the membrane’s filtration capacity.
• High Operating Pressure – The higher the pressure required, the higher the energy consumption and operating costs.
• Decreased Permeate Water Quality – Indiscriminately increasing the recovery rate can lead to increased TDS and other contaminants in the output water.

Without proper solutions, these issues can result in more frequent downtime, shorter membrane life, and increased operational costs.

Consequences If Recovery Rate Is Not Increased

When the RO recovery rate is not optimized, the negative impact is not only felt in terms of operations, but also in terms of sustainability and regulatory compliance. Some of the negative impacts of a low recovery rate include:

• Raw Water Waste – Water purchased or taken from natural sources is not utilized optimally, increasing the consumption of resources that could be minimized.
• High Waste Disposal Costs – The more water is discharged as brine, the higher the cost of treatment and disposal.
• Poor Energy Efficiency – With low recovery rates, the energy used in the osmosis process is not optimal, significantly increasing electricity costs.
• Environmental Impacts – Discharge of liquid waste with high salt concentrations can pollute the environment and contribute to ecological problems.

If companies do not address this issue immediately, operational costs will continue to increase, efficiency will decrease, and the potential for compliance with environmental regulations could be compromised.

Effective Ways to Increase RO Recovery Rate

In order for the RO system to work optimally with a higher recovery rate, here are some solutions that can be applied.

1. Improvement of Raw Water Pretreatment

Fouling and scaling are two major factors that cause a decrease in recovery rate. Therefore, the pretreatment stage should be optimized with the following steps:

• Using multimedia filters to reduce suspended solids before entering the RO membrane.
• Application of coagulants and flocculants to reduce organic content that can clog the membrane.
• Installation of softeners or anti-scalants to prevent scale formation due to calcium and magnesium ions.

2. RO Operation Optimization

A good RO system setup can increase the recovery rate without sacrificing the quality of the resulting water. Some steps that can be taken include:

• Adjusting the operating pressure to stay within the optimal range without causing excessive pressure that accelerates fouling.
• Monitoring and controlling the flow rate to avoid excessively high ion concentrations in the reject section.
• Using a multi-stage RO configuration that allows the reuse of rejects from the first stage to the second stage to increase water separation efficiency.

3. Application of Advanced Technology

With the advancement of technology, there are several innovative methods that can help increase the recovery rate without damaging the membrane:

• Membranes with Antifouling Technology – The latest membranes are equipped with a special coating that is more resistant to fouling and scaling.
• Energy Recovery Device (ERD) – This device allows the recovery of energy from the reject stream, significantly reducing power consumption.
• Continuous Membrane Cleaning (CMC) System – This system allows membrane cleaning without having to shut down, thus reducing downtime and extending membrane life.

4. Scheduled Care and Maintenance

Without proper maintenance, the RO system will experience a drastic decrease in performance. Some suggested maintenance steps are:

• Periodic cleaning of membranes with appropriate cleaning agents to remove organic and inorganic deposits.
• Monitoring of operating parameters such as pH, pressure, and conductivity to detect problems early.
• Routine checks on pumps and valves to ensure there are no leaks or malfunctions that could compromise system performance.
