Like other <br>human activities, laundry activity also produces waste or filth. But, the waste is often directly disposed of <br>any treatment to the water like rivers or lakes. It finally causes contamination to the nature, one of them is <br>known as eutrophication or nutrition enrichment, then it will harm the growth of aquatic organisms. To <br>overcome the problem, the laundry waste needs to be treated before it is disposed of the nature. Biofilter and <br>Constructed Wetland are low cost systems and easily handled, so this system is suitable to be applied on <br>small or household scale. Equisetum hyemale is a decorative plant which has already been used to treat many <br>wastewater, and proves it’s effectiveness in reducing the pollutant in wastewater. In this research a hybrid <br>system of Biofilter with additions of activated carbon and Constructed Wetland with Equisetum hyemale is <br>used to treat laundry wastewater, with HRT of 4 days we found a decrease of tested parameters, TDS 346.94 <br>mg/L (21.15 %); TSS 11.25 mg/L (88.88 %); BOD 31.86 mg/L (63.68 %); Phosphate 3.41 mg/L (83.28 %); and <br>Detergent 1.10 mg/L (93.1 %).</p>}, number={1}, journal={SCISCITATIO}, author={Violenta, Nadya and Bawole Sutanto, Haryati and Prihatmo, Guruh}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={1–8} }
