Abstract

The tofu industry in the processing process produces waste, both solid and liquid waste. Tofu liquid waste with characteristics containing high organic matter and high levels of COD, TDS and Ammonia if directly discharged into water bodies, will obviously reduce the carrying capacity of the environment. So it is necessary to conduct counseling on how to handle tofu liquid waste, to reduce the risk of the existing pollution load. Counseling is carried out by conducting question and answer activities to partners regarding the processing of tofu liquid waste, then the partners are given directions regarding the handling of tofu liquid waste, namely by adding a coagulant in the form of PAC to the reservoir before being channeled through a paralon pipe to a septic tank which is devoted to accommodating tofu liquid waste. . After processing the hazardous parameters including COD, TDS, and Ammonia decreased so that they met the quality standards of liquid waste.
