initiated the utilization of coconut milk skim effluent due to the rich of micronutrient
content in the wastewater. However this coconut milk skim effluent (CMSE) contains high amounts of COD, BOD,
suspended solid (SS), Total Solids (TS), Oil and Grease [5]. In other hand, the wastewater contains several
micronutrient that could be utilized for microalgae. Recent study showed that CMSE could be the potential source to
serve as a medium for growth of bacteria such as Acetobacter xylium in the production of Nata de Coco[4].
One of leading wastewater treatment of Indonesian agroindustry is phycoremediation[6]. The method
employs microalgae to remove toxic and excess nutrient in wastewater bodies[7]. Previous research was revealed
that palm oil mill effluent was able to be processed phytoremedially by using Spirulinaplatensis [8].Purpose of this
research is to determine coconut milk skim characterization, to utilize the wastewater as Spirulinaplatensis medium
and to analyse biomass formed from cultivation.
