Judul: Desain Teknik Proses Co-composting Sludge dan Abu Ketel dan Dreg PT Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper dengan Metode Aerated Static Pile
Abstrak: PT Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper menghasilkan limbah padat yaitu sludge (30 ton/hari) dan abu ketel (33,3 ton/hari). Metode sanitary landfill yang digunakan saat ini sudah tidak efektif. Salah satu metode pemanfaatan limbah adalah co-composting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik sludge dan abu ketel, mendesain teknik proses co-composting, dan menganalisis mutu produk kompos berdasarkan SNI-7847:2012. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian faktor tunggal dengan metode Aerated Static Pile (ASP) skala 500 kg dengan komposter berbahan kayu berdimensi panjang 100 cm, lebar 80 cm, dan tinggi 70 cm. Rasio C/N awal ditetapkan yaitu 30 sehingga berdasarkan formulasi, komposisi bahan senilai 2:1 (sludge 333 kg : 167 kg abu). Co-composting selama 32 hari mencapai fase termofilik dengan suhu 53?. Pemberian aerasi dilakukan melalui aerator selama 2 jam 6,4 menit/hari untuk meningkatkan laju degradasi oleh mikroorganisme. Karakteristik fisik kompos sesuai SNI-7847-2012 yaitu suhu kompos sama dengan ambien, berwarna hitam, beraroma seperti tanah, Kadar air 48,91%, pH 6, Rasio C/N 15,83. Kompos tidak mengandung Coliform fecal dan Salmonella sp.. Bobot akhir produk kompos sebesar 394 kg dengan rendemen 75%.

Judul: Co-composting Process Engineering Design of Sludge and Boiler Ash PT Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper using Windrow Composting Method.
Abstrak: PT Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper menghasilkan limbah sludge (30 ton/hari) dan abu ketel (33,3 ton/hari). Penanganan limbah saat ini menggunakan metode sanitary landfill. Salah satu alternatif pemanfaatan limbah adalah melalui proses co-composting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik sludge dan abu ketel, mendesain teknik proses co-composting dan menganalisis mutu produk kompos berdasarkan SNI-7847:2012. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian faktor tunggal dengan metode windrow composting berskala 500 kg dan menggunakan komposter kayu berukuran panjang 100 cm, lebar 80 cm, dan tinggi 70 cm. Rasio C/N awal ditetapkan senilai 30, komposisi bahan senilai 2:1 (sludge 333 kg : 167 kg abu). Co-composting dilakukan selama 32 hari dengan pembalikan setiap 3 hari sekali. Fase termofilik tercapai dengan suhu 51 oC. Karakter fisik kompos sesuai dengan SNI-7847:2012, dengan warna hitam dan aroma seperti tanah. Kadar air akhir kompos adalah 46,31%, pH kompos 6, dan rasio C/N produk kompos 15,64. Kompos tidak mengandung Coliform fecal dan Salmonella sp. Kandungan logam berat kompos berada dibawah baku mutu. Bobot akhir produk kompos sebesar 365,5 kg dengan rendemen 69,5%., PT Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper produced sludge waste (30 tons/day) and boiler ash (33.3 tons/day). The current waste management method used sanitary landfill. One alternative for waste utilization was through the co-composting process. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of sludge and ash, design co-composting process engineering, and analyze the quality of compost product based on SNI-7847:2012. This study was a single-factor research using the windrow composting method on a scale of 500 kg and used a wooden box composter with dimensions of length 100 cm, widht 80 cm, height 70 cm. The initial C/N ratio was set at 30, the material composition of 2:1 (sludge 333 kg : 167 kg ash). Co-composting was carried out for 32 days with turning every 3 days. The thermophilic phase was reached at a temperature of 51 oC. The physical characteristics of the compost complied with SNI-7847:2012. With a black color and soil-like aroma. The final moisture content of the compost was 46.31%, the pH was 6, and the C/N ratio of the compost product was 15.64. The compost did not contain Coliform fecal and Salmonella sp. The heavy metal content of the compost was comply to the quality standards. The final weight of the compost product was 365.5 kg with a yield of 69.5%.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
