INTRODUCTION
Suwung Landfill is a place of processing waste for Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and Tabanan. Suwung Landfill is in Desa Suwung
Kauh, Kecamatan Denpasar Selatan. The main problem encountered in the application of landfilling waste or other solid waste into the
ground is the possibility of water pollution by leachate, the liquid waste arising from the entry of external water into the landfill
(Damanhuri, 2008). Suwung Landfill has been completed with leachate treatment plant with the configuration of plant is anaerobic
ponds, facultative ponds, aerobic ponds, and constructed wetlands.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

TSS effluent in
May 2011 has not
met the quality
standard
(400 mg/L,
based on KEP-51/
MENLH/10/1995).

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Based on Thorntwaite
Method, the quantity of
leachate is
50 x 106 L/year or
1.6 L/s.

Temperature and pH are at

optimum condition for activity of
bacteria, ranging between 25
35oC for temperature and 6 9 for
pH (Metcalf & Eddy, 2004).

Depth, detention time, organic loading rate in facultative pond,

aerobic pond, and constructed wetland are not suitable to the
design criteria.

CONCLUSION

BOD and COD effluent in May 2011 has not met the quality
standard (150 mg/L for BOD and 300 mg/L for COD, based on
KEP-51/MENLH/10/1995).

REFERENCES

The checking of leachate treatment plant design with the design

criteria shows that the organic loading rate in facultative pond,
aerobic pond, and constructed wetland are not comply with the
design criteria. The value of BOD, COD, and TSS of leachate
treatment plant effluent in May 2011 are not comply with the
quality standard.
