ABSTRACT
Industrial and household operations mostly produce liquid
waste that can harm the environment without further processing or
processing. "Bella" Apartment is an apartment building located
in one of the big cities in Indonesia, called Surabaya. The waste
generated from this building comes from household activities such as toilet
waste, laundry waste and kitchen waste. The purpose of this study is to
minimize costs and increase the income of business owner. This study used
a qualitative descriptive method with 3 informants. Based on financial
analysis over the past 12 months, the management often complains about the high
consumption of water so that the total cost of water paid to the water provider
becomes higher and the owner's concern for the environment. water used in
public facilities is taken from water sources for washing vehicles, washing
clothes and other activities. In this study, the design of the Sewage
Treatment Plant will be carried out, calculating the installation costs, the
savings that can be obtained so that it can increase revenue, how to process
secondary waste and maintenance from the sewage treatment plant, and the
implementation of the Reverse Logistics concept in handling waste. Reduce
the amount of operating costs from electricity and Water costs to increase
revenue.

INTRODUCTION
In today's business era, the
level of competition is increasing. Business
owners are not only required to improve the quality of products and services to
meet customer needs, but are
also required to reduce product costs and reuse waste to reduce total costs and
destroy waste effectively, especially for the environment. This
requires companies to pay more attention to Reverse Logistics
and Green Logistics because it is related to controlling products that
can be recycled and regained value and related to handling
waste, both to minimize costs and the effects of waste on
the environment. In a survey, it was shown that if the Reverse Logistics process
is well implemented has the potential
to regenerate product returns or waste as much as 32% of
the original value of the product (Badenhorst & Van Zyl, 2015).
One way to regenerate product value is Reverse
Logistics which focuses on the backflow of products coming from
customers to companies with the aim of maximizing value or minimizing the total
costs incurred (Sharma et al., 2016). In
its utilization, reverse logistics are
used to deal with problems such as remanufacturing or waste handling to be used
as an effective resource (Bensalem & Kin, 2019). The
reverse logistics is the process of planning, implementing, efficiently
controlling product costs, and related information for the purpose of regaining
value or proper disposal (Burnard et al., 2015). Good reverse logistics
management can provide cost savings on the procurement and disposal of company
waste effectively (Govindan et al., 2015).
As a form of concern for the environment and the management's efforts to reduce costs, apartment building
owners agreed to build an STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) to carry out waste
treatment so that it could increase income from liquid waste or wastewater .
Wastewater that is not treated and directly discharged into water bodies will
have a negative impact on both the environment and the health of the
surrounding community. the pollutant accumulated will lead to self-purification
ability body of water is exceeded. Rather, it can cause scarcity of clean water
sources and occurrence eutrophication. Eutrophication causes oxygen content
dissolved in water is reduced so dangerous living things in it (Arsad et al., 2021). In liquid waste treatment activities, the management does not only use
residual water from washing and bathing activities or referred to
as Greywater, tetfire also uses water derived from human waste such as urinals
or what is called Blackwater.
Based on previous research
that conducted STP designs in a village, domestic wastewater is water
originating from businesses or residential activities, restaurants, offices,
commerce, apartments and housing (Mubin et al., 2016). Several forms of this waste water are in the form of faeces, urine,
bathroom waste, and leftover household kitchen activities. So that the type of
STP that is suitable for dealing with this type of waste is STP with a
�Domestic Off-Site Position� design type.
This study not only focuses
on Blackwater such as waste resulting from the use of toilets, but
also Greywater, which is waste water that comes from other than toilets. The
types of liquid waste are divided into two, namely Blackwater and Greywater
(Wilson et al., 2015). The
definition of this type of liquid waste is as
follows. Blackwater is liquid
waste that starts from the toilet, including toilet flush water,
urine, and excreta (Zaied, 2018). Meanwhile, Greywater is
a liquid waste that does not contain human or animal waste (Chen & Fagan, 2015). Examples
are wastewater from the kitchen, laundry water, and rinse water. The purpose of
this research is to reduce cost and improve the profit, also to meet government
regulations.
METHODS
The approach in this study
is an analytical qualitative approach. This approach is a method to
describe and give an overview of the object under study through data or
samples that have been collected as they are and make conclusions that can be
used for the public (Sugiyono & Lestari, 2021). Data collection was carried out
by conducting location observations and interviews with apartment managers,
contractors and STP designers. Then, adjust with previous research to determine
the type of STP that is suitable for the location and in accordance with
government regulations. The results of the interview with the building
owner on the building specifications are as follows:

The amount of electricity costs
depends on the busyness of apartment residents, the majority of whom are
students and employees who use public facilities such as lounges, laundry
rooms, kitchens, and Entertainment rooms. It can be concluded that the
average expenditure of electricity operating costs for public facilities per
month is Rp. 1,049,964 (777Kwh). For the electricity costs of each room is
borne by each occupant at a rate of Rp. 2000 / Kwh. While the tariff from the
electricity provider "PT. PLN" is Rp. 1,700 / Kwh. At this stage the
owner has benefited from the residents. The amount of electricity costs depends

As for the cost of using water. This
building has a water reservoir with a capacity of 3m3 which is
filled from the water supply channel, namely "PDAM
Surabaya" with the help of a water pump to raise water to the top floor
where the reservoir is stored. The use of water in this building serves to
supply water needs. Here are the water costs in 2022:

The average cost
of water use in a month is 2,119,195 (241m3) with
water costs Rp. 8,800/m3. And sold to residents for Rp. 9,000/m3 for
use in each unit. The problem of this water consumption is the high
consumption of water by the residents. Meanwhile, the management feels
that excessive water consumption
is not good for the environment. However, this cannot be avoided
considering that residents also pay for it.
Layout Design
The site design and placement of the STP will be built in an area
of vacant land from the building whose land is still owned by the owner
covering an area of 10m X 5m.
Figure
1. Location sketch
The wastewater processing process
will use 2 processes, namely biological systems, and chemical systems. Here
is the design layout of the process:

Figure 2. Biological System
1.
Primer Tank
STP (Sewage Treatment
Plant) gets waste supply from sewerage from both toilets to water
catchment areas. The
waste is accommodated in different primary tanks according to the
characteristics of the waste. The function of this primary tank is to
separate the character of the existing waste, both
from the toilet and from other sources.
For the waste process coming
from the kitchen, the process of separating the character of oil and water uses
the overflow method
with the Grease Trap method. Grease Trap is a control tank
that functions to separate
oil and fat in wastewater so that it can be filtered easily. Meanwhile,
the process of toilet waste is carried out by separating large particles or
solid dirt by applying a baffle or filter on a special primary tank for
toilets.
2.
Equalizing Tank
After the process
of separating oil and water and filtering dirt on the primary tank, the waste
will proceed to the next stage, which is to enter the equalizing
tank. This equalizing tank
is a building waste discharge storage tank whose purpose is to separate
the types of substance characters in the water content so that
the tankteri decomposition process becomes lighter. In this equalizing tank,
there is an air blower as a tool to decompose and separate the character of
waste and water.
3.
Tank Clarifier
At this stage, waste will be
deposited against soft particles that are still in the water such as sludge to
reduce the workload of the next tank, namely
the aeration tank with the aim that the tankteri can decompose. The nature
of this storage tank is to create calm water so that particles that have mass
can sink at the bottom of the tank and the water will separate with the
particles.
4.
Aeration
In aeration tanks, liquid
waste will be decomposed tankteri or microbes with a blower tool to dissolve
oxygen into water to increase
dissolved oxygen levels in water and release the content of gases dissolved in
water, as well as help stirring water.
5.
Clarifier Tank
After passing through the aeration tank, another deposition will be
carried out with the aim of separating particles from water so that particles
in the waste can settle to the bottom and separate from water. The purpose
of another settling after going through the previous settling is to get clearer
water so that it is carried out twice as precipitation.
6.
Chlorine Tank
This tahap focuses on killing tankteri by inject chemical
water, namely chemical chlorine using
the help of a dosing pump.
7. Effluent Tank
At this stage, clean water will be accommodated in
this effluent tank for further use as a non-consumable
irrigation system.
In determining the feasibility of
this biological system, water quality must meet the following parameters.
1.
BOD (Bio Oxygen Demand) level
should be below 5 PPM (Part Per Million)
2.
COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)
level should be below 10 PPM (Part Per Million)
3. The pH
level (Power of Hydrogen) should be between 6�9 PPM (Parts Per Million)

Figure 3. Biological Syestem
1.
Mixer
At this stage after the water in the Effluent Tank is
declared to have passed the test, it will proceed to the Mixing stage using a
Mixer. At this stage the water will be mixed with chemicals, namely
Chemical PAC and Chemical
Polymer. Chemical PAC serves to precipitate waste particles
and Chemical Polymer serves to bind waste particles.
2.
Lamella
Lamella tanks function to hold or regulate
the flow of sludge levels through the grille using cup
settler media with dimensions of 80 cm high and 120 cm wide.
3.
Tank Clarifier
After going through the Lamella Tank, the water will
continue to flow into the Tank Clarifier to be deposited like the
previous Tank Clarifier.
4.
Recycle
At this stage the precipitated water will enter the next
process, namely further filtration using Sand Filter media consisting
of gravel measuring 3 mm to 6 mm to filter further dirt
particles. Then, water enters the Carbon Filter media consisting
of charcoal or cartridge components to remove odors and kill
tankteri.
5.
CWT (Clear Water Tank)
CWT tanks can use a capacity of 300 m3 to
accommodate the intake of clean water ready for consumption. With a note
that it is mandatory to have a pH criterion of 6�9 PPM and a TDS of 50�150 PPM.
Construction and Maintenance Cost
Based
on discussions with the contractor, the cost of purchasing mixer machines and
other machines as well as various tanks according to the layout was set, a cost
of Rp. 10,665,000 was set. As for the maintenance costs every month as
follows:

For water quality testing, you can use third
parties who do have the ability to test water quality, namely "KAN and
"Sucoffindo" which are in the city of Surabaya.
Green
logistics implementation
1. Ecological Criteria
In
the wastewater processing process, secondary waste will appear, namely
Sludge. In the city of Surabaya, there are third parties who serve sludge
disposal and can even process sludge into substitution raw materials so that it
does not pollute the environment. Sludge waste can be used as
a substitution material in making concrete bricks (Sri
& Fajar, 2021).
2.
Economic Analysis
With this system, it will save water expenditure costs up
to 100% even though it increases electricity costs every month. However,
owners can still benefit from monthly payments to electricity and water by
residents. As a calculation, the average per month of electricity is Rp.
1,049,964 + Rp. 1,190,000 (STP additional electricity cost) =
Rp.2,239,964. Meanwhile, building owners can sell water to residents for
Rp.9,000 /m3. If the average water use by residents is 230 m3 then,
9000 X 230 = 2,070,000. Then the owner will get a profit of Rp. 2,070,000
only from water payments not including from electricity payments by
residents. Unfortunately, the owners do not keep data on what the average
income from electricity use has been over the past year. Waste from Wastewater
Treatment, namely Sludge, can be used as a substitution
material in making concrete bricks (Mulyati
& Sihite, 2021). By having Sewage Treatment
Plant, can involve water consumption for entire life cycle of the building (Usman
et al., 2018).
3.
Technological Capabilities
In this design, specifications for pumps and filtration tanks have been set
according to needs, to provide effective and efficient
results. Electricity consumption is not excessive but still effective in
carrying out the process. Waste originating from the toilet is channeled into a
holding tank which must be watertight to prevent odor leaks and then overflow
from the liquid waste holding tank is pumped into the domestic STP system (Yudo, 2018).
4.
Social Acceptance
The STP location will be placed in the back area of the
building which was originally just vacant land. The location is also
isolated by the parapet of apartment areas and residential areas. The
determination of the STP location is also in an open area and the storage tank
will be stored in the ground by the soil excavation method.
CONCLUSION
Based
on the data that has been obtained, the existence of a Sewage Treatment Plant
in this apartment building can minimize the cost of water use and reduce dependence
on third-party water providers. And can increase income from business
owners. The design is determined based on existing regulations in the
local area as well as the concept of green logistics to produce outputs that
are in accordance with the existing conception. If the management wants to
do more business, they can cooperate with "PT. PRIA" is a
specialist company that processes sludge in Surabaya to be used as substitute
raw materials such as concrete bricks, for example.
