Abstract

Context: In Indonesia, the biggest source of wastewater producers comes from household activities.
phytoremediation and biofiltration are some method that can handle domestic wastewater pollution. This
study aims to determine the effectiveness comparison of the type of treatments in decreasing of TDS and
TSS in Household Wastewater. The research method used in this research is pure experiment. The sample
selection is based on the level of pollution that occurs in the ternate city area due to wastewater and has a
high population density so that it is taken a sample in the eastern Makassar district. Media selection is based
on its ability to reduce pollutant parameters of TDS and TSS as has been stated in several journals with
biofiltration and phytoremediation approaches. The total sample used was 15 liters of domestic wastewater.
This research was conducted for 4 weeks and all parameter was tested 4 times, the first test was at the
first week, the second test was after treatment second weeks, the third test was after treatment 3rd week,
the fourth test was after treatment 4th week. All tested parameter tests by using the gravimetry method.
Phytoremediation by using water hyacinth is more effective in reducing levels of TDS and TSS in domestic
waste than biofiltration by using banana stems.
