Studi Pemanfaatan Limbah Ikan Dari Tempat Pelelangan Ikan (TPI) dan Pasar Tradisional Sibolga Sebagai Bahan Baku Kompos

Abstract

This thesis deals with a research on composting of waste fish in the fish auction (TPI) and traditional markets in Sibolga. The Composting process used EM4 which has been enabled with drops of cane. During composting, the temperature was being maintained by compost reversal and the changing of color and odor was being observed. Testing the levels of C-Organic, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium were performed on span days 0,2,5,10,15,20. The results showed the levels of C-Organik; 51.69%, Nitrogen; 8.25%, Phosphorus; 4.75%, and Potassium; 1.56%. From the results of testing C-Organic, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, it shows a high level compared with the ISO quality compost. Therefore the compost from fish waste in the fish auction (TPI) and a traditional market Sibolga can be used as fertilizer.

Telah dilakukan penelitian pembuatan pupuk kompos dari limbah ikan tempat pelelangan (TPI) dan pasar tradisional Sibolga. Proses pengomposan menggunakan EM4 yang telah diaktifkan dengan tetes tebu.Selama pengomposan kondisi suhu dijaga dengan pembalikan kompos dan diamati perubahan warna serta bau. Pengujian kadar C-Organik, Nitrogen, Posfor, dan Kalium dilakukan pada rentang waktu 0,2,5,10,15,20 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar C-Orgnik ; 51,69%, Nitrogen ; 8,25%, Posfor ; 4,75%, dan Kalium ; 1,56%. Dari hasil pengujian C-Organik, Nitrogen, Posfor, dan Kalium menunjukkan kadar yang cukup tinggi dibanding dengan kualitas kompos SNI, maka kompos dari limbah ikan tempat pelelangan ikan (TPI) dan pasar tradisioanl Sibolga dapat digunakan sebagai pupuk.
