ABSTRACT
Milk Industry is one kind of food and beverage industries that has high potency to develop
fast in Indonesia. In every activities of production process, there will be produced waste as
unwanted product from the manufacture process. Wastewater is one of the biggest waste
produced in milk production process in PT. Greenfields Indonesia with flowrate 200 m3/day .
This wastewater must be treated so can fulfill the governments quality standard for milk
industry and safe for the environment when disposed . The parameter in government
regulation in line with quality standard of the wastewater from milk production process based
on Governor Regulation No. 72 year 2013 include pH, BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand),
COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), and TSS (Total Suspended Solids). The main wastewater
treatment in the company are using anaerobic process, aerobic process and membrane
bioreactor (MBR). Evaluation of wastewater treatment from milk production process is done
with the goal to know the effectifity of the treatment in removing the biodegradable pollutant
cotain in wastewater. The results of evaluation show that with those three methods,
PT.Greenfields Indonesia is success in removing the biodegradable pollutant with effeciency
98,9% for BO;, 95,8% for TSS; 99% for COD, and the effluent quality have fullfiled the
quality standar regulated by the government .
Key words : milk wastewater, membrane bioreactor, aerobic process, anaerobic process
INTRODUCTION
PT. Greenfields Indonesia is an
industry that produce fresh milk from their
own dairy farm. In every activities of
production process, there will be produced
milk wastewater as the biggest waste
produced by the company. Most of the
wastewater comes from the CIP (Cleaning
In Place) which is a cleaning process
automatically for the machine production
process using cold water, hot water, acid
solution and caustic soda. The wastewater
must be treated well first until fulfill the

CONCLUSION
Most of the waste water from the
milk production process in PT Greenfields
Indonesia, comes from CIP (Clean In
Place) process and few are from spilled
milk and also whey from the chesse
process. The wastewater treatment
procedure in PT. Greenfields Indonesia are
screening, first equalization process,
second
equalization
process,
third
equalization process, anaerobic process,
aerobic process and also MBR (Membrane
Bioreactor).
The parameter that become
reference of the company in treating the
waste water from milk production process
is based on Governor Regulation No. 72
year 2013 about Wastewater of Milk
