Abstract

Currently, tofu wastewaters from CV. Proma has been treated using anaerobic technology up-flow Fixed Bed reactor. The aim of the research is to evaluate three impacts (environmental, social, and economic) of sustainability on wastewater treatment at CV. Proma tofu industry. This research method was conducted using direct observation in the field and interviewing to community. The evaluation environmental results show that technology can be reducing organic materials in wastewater up to 83% and reducing 2.863.981,8 kg of CH4 emission/years. The evaluation social and economic result show that the technology can be produced biogas equivalent to 5903 kg of LPG/years, which is able to meet the cooking needs of 40 households. Community perceptions show a positive impact because these activities provide economic benefits around Rp. 35.418.169/years for the community around the tofu industry. Wastewater treatment technology in Proma tofu industry can be integrate the three dimensions of sustainability.
