 Tofu Liquid Waste Cycle

Tofu Home Industries Produced liquid waste

15-20 Litres/kg It can use for producing
Location in Kedung Produced Solid Waste Biogas because of high
soybean raw material
Tarukan Street 12, for livestock food organic content which
and throwned directly contained high CH4

 Soy Sauce Liquid Waste Cycle

Soy Sauce Home

Industries Produced liquid waste up It can use for producing
Produced liquid waste of
to 50 liters in one time Biogas because of high
Location in Sidodadi soy sauce from boiling of
production and throwned organic content which

 Conclusion

The Greater Amount of COD from Liquid Waste, The Greater Also
01 Biogas Resulted

CONCLUSION The largest amount of biogas from variable Tofu : Soy Sauce = 0:1 with
02 the average biogas result per day is 27811,3 mL

The best quality of biogas being produced from the same variable with
03 the average composition of gas is CH4 59.71%, CO2 38.72%, H2S
1.28% and NH3 0.298%.
