Abstract

Daily activities at Port X produced domestic liquid wastewater with total coliform and TSS parameters
exceeding the required quality standards. Total coliforms and TSS polluted waterbodies and caused
gastrointestinal diseases in humans. The aim of this research was to see the effect of chlorine on reducing total
coliforms and TSS in domestic wastewater from Port X Batam City in 2024. This research used true
experimental method with a pretest - posttest control group design. Primary data was obtained by treatment
and examination in the laboratory. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test to see the effect on the control
group and treatment group (p value <0.05). The research results showed that there was an effect of the
independent variable towards the dependent variable. The most influential treatment was a chlorine dose of 2
gr/l and aeration for 4 hours with a percentage reduction in the total number of coliforms and TSS levels of
82.71% and 85.16% respectively. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that chlorine had an effect
on reducing the total number of coliforms and TSS levels in Port X domestic waste samples.
