Abstract

The clean water crisis is a world and Indonesia issue. A hospital is a place of public service that plays an important role in maintaining the survival of human life. Consumption of antibiotics in hospitals causes potential contamination of residual antibiotics that will be mixed with wastewater. Regulations on hospital wastewater in Indonesia have not regulated the content of antibiotics. Antibiotics are resistant and persistent if they are in aquatic environments even in small concentrations. Hospital wastewater treatment system has not been designed to process the antibiotics, so it needs to be developed alternative technology and solve the problem. This research was conducted for 1.5 years, sample using hospital wastewater type B in Palembang City used to grab and composite sampling. The research design used a laboratory-scale design experiment to analyze the performance of Hybrid membrane (NF-RO) in treating antibiotics in hospital wastewater. Membrane performance calculation variables are rejection. Quantitative analysis showed a Ciprofloxacin level of 4.7 ppm and exceeded the prevailing standard quality in Europe (EC50<1 ppm).These results proved there is a correlation between the number of antibiotics with hospital wastewater become the potential pollutant agent in the water. The results of the study showed Hybrid membrane (NF-RO) performance reducing the levels of Ciprofloxacin antibiotics. The highest hybrid membrane (NF-RO) rejection was 98,31% (80 psi and 1,5 h) with Ciprofloxacin levels at retentate of 0,06 ppm and Rejection system was 98,56%. This result showed Hybrid membrane process is possible application in a hospital to overcome the antibiotics resistance problems.
