ABSTRACT
Coconut fiber waste has the potential to become a value-added product as a biofilm media and an adsorbent. The addition of biofilm media and adsorbent is important because it reduces the amount of sludge produced in wastewater. Furthermore, the quality of wastewater produced by the IASBR process with the addition of biofilm media and adsorbents can be used as clean water. The wastewater used comes from apartment wastewater. The IASBR was used to determine the optimal anoxic-aerobic processing time in a tropical climate. The study will further compare the efficiency of the two by using discarded coconut fiber as an additional adsorbent and biofilm media. The optimal adsorbent dose and weight of waste coconut fiber, and hydraulic retention time optimization were all examined. As a result, clean water was discovered to be the primary product after the addition of adsorbent and biofilm media made from waste coconut fiber.
