Utilization of Mini Demin's Innovation in Processing Batik Water Waste in the Batik Crafters Empowerment Program Fostered Partners of PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Central Java 2 Adipala

The batik sector harms the environment because waste generated during the batik-making process might generate liquid waste, which accounts for 80% of the total water used in the batik manufacturing process. Most of Indonesia's batik industry has yet to manage its wastewater effectively. New processing technologies are needed to reduce organic pollutants and dyes in batik industry liquid waste. Adipala Village, Adipala District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province is one of the Cilacap area's batik industry sites with small-scale production. One of the most serious issues confronting SME Batik Saloka is the lack of manufacturing facilities and technology for handling liquid waste from batik dyeing. This caused PLN Indonesia Power UBP Central Java 2 Adipala to develop mini demin liquid waste processing equipment at the Batik Saloka manufacturing facility. The study's goal is to investigate the efficacy of mini demin innovation in processing batik water waste at SME Batik Saloka. To analyze the impact of using the mini demin, researchers observed the mini demin work system and conducted interviews with PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Central Java 2 Adipala, Batik Saloka, and people of Adipala Village, Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province. The study's findings reveal that using mini demin innovation may convert batik water waste from dyeing into clean water with standards-compliant quality. In addition, the clean water generated can be utilized again to hydrate plants that are used as natural dyes and for the batik dyeing process.
