Experimental and Analytical Study on Enhancing Efficiency of the Photovoltaic Panels Using Polyethyleneglycol 600 (Peg 600) As A Phase Change Material

Paper mill producing several type papers has a wastewater treatment plant with an aerated lagoon system to remove their pollutants. but the removal efficiency of this system is still low so that the effluent is still not complying with the indonesian of effluent quality standards yet. it needs pretreatment plant before aerated lagoon. in an effort to improve the performance of wastewater treatment plant, study of wastewater characteristics, wastewater treatment, the establishment of treatment systems and equipment design have been carried out. after construction of pretreatment plant, the field trial of wastewater treatment plant using wastewater originated from several type of paper produced was conducted. result of laboratoryscale experiment showed that the paper mill needs a wastewater treatment with physicalchemical system before aerated lagoon treatment. field trial of wastewater treatment showed that the removal of suspended solids (tss) of 97%, cod of 88%, bod5 of 85%, and a ph of 6.2 to 7.7 could be obtained using 5 10 % naoh solution at doses of 50240 mg/l and 0.1% cationic polyelectrolyte (pe) solution as flocculants at dose of 1.0 to 1.5 mg/l. application of physicalchemical treatment plant can lighten the load on an aerated lagoon treatment. effluent quality of aerated lagoon discharged into environment has met the indonesian of effluent quality standard.
