Indonesia is known as one of the biggest cassava producers in World with the major use for humman consumption (In 2009 there was harvested area of 1,17 millions ha with production of about 21.9 millions ton). However, there was a changes in cassava utilization.. Food utilization 2007: 64 % 2009: 53 % Industrial utilization 2007: 36 % 2009: 47% to GOOD, BUT create Another problems
Those changes are good, BUT create another problems. ....? • Most cassava industry small to medium size, along Brantar river for example, there are about 343 tapioca factories
Wastewater treatment: • No wastewater treatment, discharge • The waste directly to river, or • Simple wastewater treatment: open pond Environmental problems

East Java (Brantas River): JAWA POS: 28/04/2008: Ribuan ikan mati, nelayan rugi jutaan rupiah: Masalah pencemaran bendungan Sutami ternyata sudah berulang kali terjadi sejak tahun 1996. Namun tidak ada upayakongkret pemerintah untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. 1996: Laporan Perum Jasa Tirta terjadi pencemaran waduk Sutami, ikanmati karena kekurangan O2 Mei 2002 Waduk Ir Sutami tercemar limbah industri, ribuan ikan mati, Juni 2004: ribuan ikan mati terapung. Oktober 2007, di samping ribuan ikan sekarat, mati terapung, juga menyebabkan listrik padam. April 2008 kerugian karena ikan mati di bendungan Ir Sutami ditaksir mencapai Rp. 280 juta Central Java Kedaulatan Rakyat :24/07/2008 08:39:40 BANJARNEGARA - KASUS PENCEMARAN SUNGAI SAPI; Pabrik Tapioka Diminta Sempurnakan IPAL Penanggung-jawab pabrik tapioka CV Bunga Mawar di Desa Kebondalem, Bawang Banjarnegara, Daryanto, merasa dipojokkan dalam kasus pencemaran air Sungai Sapi. Menurutnya, pabrik tapioka ini bukan satu-satunya. Karena di kawasan tersebut ada pabrik lain di Wanadri. Sedang Bupati Djasri 15 Juli lalu sudah melayangkan peringatan, agar perusahaan menyempurnakan IPAL sesuai peraturan baku mutu limbah cair.
Common tapioca wastewater treatments Open pond: Requires time (long time), large area, un-effective UASB: complicated, expensive Phytoremediation
Phytoremediation with Vetiver grass (Vetivera zyzanoides) • Why phytoremediation? simple, cheaf, low risk • Why vetiver grass? Easy to grow, can grow on any kind of medium (even in very unfavorable medium), grow very fast . Indrayatie et al. (2012) found that vetiver very tolerant to grow in tapioca factory wastewater
Metodhology • The first study aimed to explore the potential of vetiver for phytoremediation of tapioca factory wastewater • The second studywas done to test the resulting wastewater remediation for fish culture and maize growing.
The potential of vetiver for tapioca wasterwater remediation Objective: to obtain the suitable growth medium and the time (plant ages) when the remediation can result the maximum outputTwo factors were studied, i.e. two growth media were used, i.e. (1) wetland systems, and (2) hydroponics (solution); and the time of starting when remediation was started are: 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after planting.As the control, Vetiver was grown in wetland and hydroponic systems. The pot used had an area of 1,256 cm2.

Until 60 days of remediation open pond (with no vetiver) was able to purify up to 87% (BOD); 88% (COD); 65% (CN). Planting vetiver increased the purification. With initial biomass of 37.4 g/pot (1,256 cm2), purification increased To 99.8% (BOD); 99.4% (COD); 93.8% (CN)

Time of remediation is an important factor. A shorter is the time for remediation is better • Addition experiment with objective of determining the remediation period required to attain the quality standard for cyanide concentration was carried out • Remediation was performed using initial vetiver biomass values of 0 (control); 5.1 g/pot; 9.4 g/pot; 17.7 g/pot; 35.1 g/pot; and 51.4 g/pot) for up to 60 days • Medium of growth: wetland system. • The waste water for this experiment had an initial BOD concentration of 3,600 mg/L; COD concentration of 3,840 mg/L and cyanide concentration of 4.2 mg/L.
within a 30 day remediation period, the prescribed cyanide quality standard could be obtained using initial vetiver biomass values 51.4 g/pot Table 4.

The highest total biomass of maize (24.67g)/plant) was obtained by the maize planted in factory treated wastewater, and this is significantly different from the other treatments.However, CN content of this maize was very high
Fish culture: Fish was cultured in a glass aquarium of 5 L. The treatments were (1) Factory fresh wastewater (FW), (2) Factory treated wastewater (TW), (3) Vetiver remediated wastewater (RW), (4) Vetiver remediated wastewater + spring water (1:1) (RWS), and (5) spring water (SW).
