Hospital Wastewater: Prediction of Contaminant Characteristics and the Possibility of Hybrid Membrane Process

Hospital as one of the possible causes of water pollutants containing infectious, pathogens, toxic, biodegradable, radioactive
contaminants, pharmaceutical product that can be a hazard agent in the environment. Wastewater treatment plant owned hospitals
generally have not been able to eliminate with either of these compounds. National estimates of production wastewater 48.985,70
tons/day, which the total of hospitals in Indonesia as 2.410 hospitals with beds 295.035. The focus of hospital wastewater treatment in
Indonesia is basically accordance with government regulations for reducing the chemical, physical, biological and radioactive materials
from the wastewater. Climate of Indonesia is located in tropical regions may be produce additional types and other characteristics of
wastewater. The Objective of this study to give an overview study of the new pollutant types of contaminants that require special
processing through a hybrid membrane technology. The method used in this research were study literature of any membrane process
in other countries and investigation of secondary data from multiple hospitals in Indonesia to determine the wastewater characteristics
with government regulation. The study of result showed the characteristics of hospital wastewater of tropical region to provide
suggestions scientifically for improvements government regulations that are currently used in Indonesia. The other result of this study
can provide a picture of hybrid membrane technology in reducing the special waste with optimum process.
