BCMEHC (BRICK FROM COW MANURE, EGG SHELL, HUSK RICE AND CLAY)AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO WASTE TREATMENT LIVESTOCK IN DEPOKREJO VILLAGE, PURWOREJO REGENCY

Abstract

Management of livestock waste in Depokrejo village, Ngombol sub-district, Purworejo district has not been implemented optimally. Cow manure waste fall apart on vacant land and has the potential to cause pollution environment and source of diseases. BCMEHC is an alternative in processing of livestock waste. This study aimed to create BCMEHC, and test the quality of BCMEHC as an alternative building material. Construction of the BCMEHC was done in three stages, namely the composite making with varying composition , burning and cooling process. Product testing was done by using brick density test, water absorption test, drop test, and scratch test compared to SNI. Density test for samples A, B, C, D, E are 1.87 gr/cm3, 1.78 gr/cm3, 1.65 gr/cm3 , 1.49 gr/cm3 , and 0 gr/cm3 respectively by default minimum according to SK SNI 15-2094-2000 is 1.60 gr/cm3
