- Wastewater that contains high concentration of nutrients can create instability in water ecosystem if left untreated. Laundry wastewater contains nutrients in high concentration. The nutrients that commonly found in laundry wastewater are nitrogen and phosphorus. This study had a purpose to determine the effect of illumination period and light intensity for the removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Nitrogen-ammonia (NH3-N), and phosphate (P) content using Chlorella vulgaris in High Rate Algal Reactor (HRAR) treatment. Variables that used were exposure period of 12 and 24 hours and light intensity of 2000–3000 Lux, 4000–5000 Lux, and 6000–7000 lux. The parameters tested to determine the efficiency of nutrient removal were COD, Nitrogen-ammonia, phosphate and Chlorophyll α to determine the condition of algae development. The results showed that the highest nutrient removal were obtained by the reactor with 24 hours illumination period with light intensity of 6000–7000 Lux that was capable of removing 54.63% of COD, and 22.15% of P. The 12-hour illumination period was better in terms of NH3-N removal, up to 50.07%. On the basis of the of statistic test result, the illumination period did not significantly influence the removal efficiency of COD, NH3-N and P indicated by P-value >0.05, while the light intensity significantly affect the removal of COD and NH3-N showed by P value <0.05.
