Optimasi Sistem MagnetoHydrodynamics (MHD) Sederhana untuk Aplikasi Aliran Fluida
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) studies the relationship between electromagnetism and fluid mechanics, a concept with various practical applications, including marine propulsion systems and electromagnetic pumps. This study aims to optimize a simple MHD system to improve the performance of fluid rate measurement based on electromagnetic principles. Optimization is carried out through the analysis of the influence of variations in several system characteristics, namely the given electrical voltage, the distance between electrodes, the length of the electrode, and the salinity of the saltwater. The method employed is experimental, utilizing a simple MHD system design that enables the quantitative observation of changes in the speed of saltwater resulting from the interaction between magnetic and electric fields. The speed of saltwater is measured using a visual approach with the Tracker analysis application. The results showed that increasing the voltage and salinity of the saltwater, as well as decreasing the electrode length or the distance between electrodes, all contribute to increasing the speed of saltwater flow. In other words, each parameter makes a significant contribution to fluid dynamics, thereby allowing for the optimal configuration of the MHD system. The findings in this study are expected to serve as the basis for the development of simple MHD-based fluid rate measurement instruments that are efficient and applicable, enabling a concrete illustration of electromagnetic theory and fluid dynamics.Istilah Magnetohydrodinamic (MHD) mempelajari keterkaitan electromagnetism dengan mekanika fluida yang merupakan konsep pada berbagai aplikasi praktis seperti system propulsi laut, pompa elektromagnetik.

The results showed that The Collecting Tank exhibited high COD reduction efficiencies between 87.52% and 93.89%, alongside TSS reductions ranging from 83.15% to 92.95%. Conversely, the Sequencing Batch Reactor demonstrated inefficiency in COD reduction, with outlet measurements exceeding inlet values; however, it achieved a 50.44% reduction in NH3 in one instance. The Anaerobic Tank showed significant COD reduction efficiencies from 72.66% to 98.27%, but NH3 reduction was negligible. Lastly, the Secondary Clarifier was inefficient in COD performance, with all tests indicating higher outlet results, while TSS efficiency was noted in only one test at 71.96%. The conclusion was although the Collecting Tank and Anaerobic Tank showed high efficiency in COD reduction, the Sequencing Batch Reactor and Secondary Clarifier units showed the NH3 reduction efficiency varied among the units tested.Abstract: The slaughterhouse industry produces liquid waste containing high organic loads and complex composition, which can pose environmental and public health challenges. This study aims to evaluate the performance of a liquid waste treatment plant in a slaughterhouse. Quantitative methods were used for objective measurements, with sampling conducted at five key points in the wastewater treatment system. Parameters analyzed included pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), COD, TSS, ammonia (NH3), and fat, oil, and grease (FOG). The results showed that the collection tank and anaerobic tank had high COD reduction efficiencies, reaching 93.89% and 98.27%, respectively. However, the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) stage showed inability to reduce COD, while NH3 reduction was also unsuccessful in the anaerobic stage. In addition, the performance of the secondary clarifier was inconsistent, with most tests showing low efficiency. The conclusion of this study highlights the need for improvements in the treatment process, including the implementation of pretreatment techniques such as initial sedimentation and blower maintenance to increase oxygen supply. Recommendations also include adjustments to the scheme in the SBR system and reuse of wastewater for industrial activities, to ensure compliance with the quality standards set by the East Java Governor Regulation Number 72 of 2013
