Abstract

Abstrak

Air limbah rumah sakit mengandung polutan yang bersifat toksid, infeksius, bahkan radioaktif sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan dampak terhadap pencemaran lingkungan dan kesehatan masyarakat. Disamping itu dengan minimnya jumlah rumah sakit di Indonesia yang memiliki IPAL yaitu sebanyak 36%, dan yang memenuhi persyaratan IPAL sebesar 52% maka potensi dampak yang ditimbulkan akan semakin nyata. Pemilihan teknologi pengelolaan air limbah dengan demikian sangat penting. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aspek – aspek yang perlu dipertimbangkan dalam memilih jenis teknologi pengolalaan air limbah rumah sakit secara deskriptif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan aspek teknis, aspek ekonomis dan aspek keberlanjutan terhadap beberapa teknologi pengolahan air limbah rumah sakit yang berkembangan saat ini, dapat direkomendasi bahwa kombinasi teknologi pengolahan biofilter anaerob – aerob dan ozonasi adalah  teknologi yang efektif dalam pengolahan air limbah rumah sakit.

Abstract

Hospital wastewater contains pollutant which has been recognized toxic, infectious and radioactive that able to degrade environment and community health. In Indonesia, only 36% of hospital has wastewater treatment instrument (IPAL), and among them only 52% meet the national standard.  These situation potentially lead to pollution that threat environments. Promoting hospital water treatments therefore become significant. This reviews aims to analyze general aspect to choose proper technology for hospital water treatments. Using technical and  economical  aspects as well as sustainability perspective, it is recommended that combination of biofilter anaerob – aerob technology and ozonization is the effective strategy to manage and process hospital wastewater in Indonesia.

Keywords: hospital wastewater, pollutant, wastewater threatment technology
