Penerapan Insinerator sebagai Alternatif Pengolahan Sampah Domestik di Desa Jenggawah Kabupaten Jember

Abstract

Domestic waste management at the village level requires methods that can reduce waste volume using the facilities available in the field. In Jenggawah Village, Jember Regency, waste at the village temporary disposal site (TPS) appeared to be piling up and increasing throughout the community service (KKN) observation period. One technology used as an alternative is the incinerator. This activity aims to describe the application of an incinerator as an alternative for domestic waste treatment, focusing on the stages and operational conditions of the treatment process. The community service team contributed by helping to fund the incinerator and by supervising its operation, not as its designer. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used. Data were collected through field observation, an operational trial conducted on 3 August 2026, interviews with the operator and informants familiar with the operating process, and documentation. The results show that the operation runs through several interrelated stages, from waste preparation to cleaning of the combustion chamber. Moisture content is the condition that most affects combustion, so wet waste needs to be mixed with drier waste. Ignition is carried out manually using wood, while the blower is used as supporting equipment when combustion intensity decreases. According to the facility operator, the observed incinerator has an operational capacity of about 15–30 kg per hour, with a combustion chamber volume of approximately 3.6 m³ based on direct measurement. SNI 8423:2023 is used in a limited manner as a technical reference and is not intended as conformity testing or as an assessment of the facility's compliance with the standard. The supervision during the activity produced operational notes that the operator can use as material for drafting operating procedures and for further development of waste management.
