Analysis Of Decrease In Sewage Treatment Plant Performance At Mt. Swordfish

Abstract

The research results showed that the decline in STP performance was influenced by a lack of air supply in the tank due to a malfunctioning aeration blower/compressor, preventing aerobic bacteria from surviving. Furthermore, the suboptimal use of chlorine tablets also resulted in ineffective processing. Another contributing factor was the crew's lack of knowledge and awareness of STP maintenance and understanding of the types of waste that should be managed.Then the efforts that can be made to overcome the problem of pollution in the sea that originates fromSewage Treatment Plant (STP)namely by carrying out regular maintenance onSewage Treatment Plant (STP)according to the procedures contained thereinmanual bookand also socialization to the crew, both maintenance and alsotypes of waste that can or cannot be managed.
