INFOKU, BLORA - The Blora Regency Environmental Service (DLH) has revealed the facts regarding the polemic surrounding the wastewater treatment plant (IPAL) at the Blora Special Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG).
The findings were obtained after the Blora DLH Technical Policy Sub-Reviewer, Febrianto, conducted a direct review of the Special SPPG location in the Kridosono area, Blora, from April to May.
As a result, both the existing IPAL and grease traps were deemed not to meet applicable waste processing standards.
"Regarding the wastewater treatment plant (IPAL) or grease trap, it's clear that it doesn't meet the requirements. There are recommendations," he stressed to the press.
According to him, a wastewater treatment plant does not have to use manufactured products.
However, the system built must be able to process waste according to the provisions of the Ministry of Environment to produce wastewater that meets quality standards.
"The wastewater treatment plant doesn't have to be factory-made. What's important is that the tanks comply with regulations and the processing results meet requirements," he said.

Febrianto explained that the IPAL can be made in various models, including being buried in the ground.
However, the existence of installations alone is not enough if the waste processing process does not run according to standards.
"The IPAL is called a planted wastewater treatment plant, and a second-level one is also allowed. The important thing is that it can process wastewater and the results meet the requirements," he said.
He explained that kitchen waste should first pass through a grease trap to separate oil and fat before entering the wastewater treatment plant.
After processing, the processed water must be clean, odorless, and safe to be discharged into drainage.
He continued, saying that he had issued a warning and written recommendations to the relevant parties to immediately make improvements.
"It doesn't meet the requirements. We've been warned. The recommendation has also been written," he emphasized. (Endah/ IST )
