INTRODUCTION
SEAWEED
Seaweed is a commodity that has long existed and known in
Indonesia
One of the biological resources found in coastal and marine areas
One of these seaweed contains agar Which when further
processed can produce a lot of agar
Used in the food, pharmaceutical, pet food and Other industries.
 JELLY FROM SEAWEED

Purpose : Nowadays the need for that continue to increase driven by rising needs of in
Indonesia. Judging from increassed will this industry from year to year and the number of
industries that produce is relatively few that aim to meet the needs of that - that would
overcome both the needs of the games from abroad.
THE PROPERTIES OF RAW MATERIAL
1. Gracilaria spp (seaweed)
- Thalli shaped is cylindrical or sprawl with branching, ranging from simple to in that
complicated and dense
- Color "Thalli" diverse, ranging from green brown, red, blond, red-brown, etc.
- Substance "Thalli" resembles a soft gel or like cartilage.
2. Hydrogen Chlorida (HCl)
- Can be used as a solvent
3. Natrium Hidroxide (NaOH)
- It absorbs water and CO2 from air
- Capable of forming a gel Sturdy and strong
4. Sodium Hydrochlorite (NaOCl)
- Shaped yellowish green liquid
- Formed from the reaction between chlorine (Cl2) With NaOH
- Soluble in cold water
PROCESS
 In the manufacture of agar-agar
from seaweed is composed of three
methods:
1.extraction
2.alkali Treatment
3.Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride Method
1. Gelidium seaweed is washed and dried
with the help of sunlight. Seaweed is then
heated with water for 1-1.5 hours inside
the extractor. So that-agar results from
the extractor is then fed to Rotary Drum
Vacuum Filter in hot conditions to
separate the filtrate net of residuals.
Filtrate is then fed into the box gelation
and cooled at room temperature to form
a gel
Note :There are some differences in treatment seaweed prior
to extraction, depending on the type of seaweed used
2. Gracilaria seaweed is washed and dried with the help of
sunlight. Seaweed added late with NaOH 6-7% for 1-2 hours at
a temperature of 70-90oC and added a little sour for
neutralization. Result of Alkali treatment and neutralization is
fed to Hot Extraction to extract with solvent water) in 15-20
times) then boiled submarine a 1-1.5 hours,
the maximum concentration of the extraction ranged between
0,8- 1.5%. hot liquids
fed to the Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter. Filtrate results from
Rotary drum cooled in cooling boxes at 40oC and after forming
a gel then cut into pieces
3. The process on top of
each method has
advantages and
disadvantages each terms
of materials, processes, and
quality of results. For The
comparison process. Of the
three methods above have
methods Alkali Treatment,
this due to the quality of
the resulting higher order.
THE WASTE

waste
derived from seaweed containing nutrients alkalis such as Ca and Mg, and the amount of cellulose
to increase the porosity to support plant growth. Waste from industrial gelatin process is about
50-90% is waste that can exploited and otherwise processed / utilized, then this waste is very
dangerous for environment
 The waste content
This waste contains nitrogen and phosphorus which is a waste waters very dangerous. In the
seaweed processing industry, there are about 70-80% of solid waste from of raw materials. The
solid waste containing organic material, particularly cellulose the amount of 30%
In dry wastewater research report contains 11,28% water,
ash content 36,05%, fat content 0,42%, protein content
1,86%, crude fiber content 9,86%, and carbohydrate 41,43%
Harvey 2009). It also contains complete vitamins for
metabolism such as A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, beta-carotene,
phosphorus, potassium, iron and iodine. Also contains
higher levels of essential amino acids than those
established by FAO and WHO

Ca is able to control the acid soil pH

Seaweed fertilizer rich in nutrients K,

Ca, Mg, Mn, and B. The high nutrient of
Utilization these plants is very beneficial for plants
and soil. Call it Mg needed by the plant
as a compiler of chlorophyll.
Waste utilization

Solid waste has the potential to become a source of nutrients organic to organic fertilizer that
can be applied directly to the plants
 PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH
WASTE TREATMENT
First decomposed through fermentation using microorganisms to obtain simple compounds that can be absorbed
by plants

Microbial media decomposers to degrade cellulose fibers into substances that can be absorbed
by plants. Can EM4, trichoderma, fruit mole, cob mole etc.

Results of waste treatment

Processed again used as
powder and sold again to
cattle ranchers as
additional concentrate
feed
