PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH KOTORAN MANUSIA MENJADI BIOGAS PADA PEMBERDAYAAN PONDOK PESANTREN BINA UMAT YOGYAKARTA

Abstract

Bina Umat Islamic Boarding School is the largest integrated Islamic school in Yogyakarta, located in Setran, Sumberarum, Moyudan, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Focusing on religious and academic education, this Islamic boarding school offers a learning environment for the intellectual and spiritual development of students. With an area of 12,000 m2, this Islamic boarding school has various facilities, such as a dormitory building, mosque, laboratory, field, canteen, kitchen and library. With quality education and facilities, this Islamic boarding school accommodates around 870 students from various levels. This large number of students causes the production of human waste to continue to increase. However, this waste which is considered worthless can be used to make biogas which can be used as a substitute for natural gas, cooking fuel and others. The aim is to apply human waste processing technology to produce biogas which can be used for Bina Umat Islamic boarding school needs, such as cooking and heating water, thereby reducing dependence on LPG gas. In implementing community service, the method used is a participatory community empowerment model. The results obtained from this program are that the residents of the Bina Umat Islamic boarding school use modern biogas technology so that human waste, which was previously considered to have no value, can be used into valuable products. The final products produced from this program are biogas which are expected to be useful for the Bina Umat Islamic boarding school.
