Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the processing units at
Nipa-Nipa Sludge Management Installation (IPLT)
on technical aspect to find out which units need improvement, economic
feasibility of the current IPLT and
the economic feasibility if improvements are made, and evaluate the institution
that manages IPLT so that it can
maximize IPLT operation and
maintenance. The method used to evaluate the technical aspects is a comparison
between the design criteria of planning and the design of existing criteria.
The results of the evaluation of the technical aspects indicate the existing IPLT processing unit can still be
operated and able to reduce contaminant levels to below the quality standard
with improvements to several processing units without additional units.
Furthermore, for the economic aspect, it shows the economic feasibility of this
IPLT will recover with the addition of the number of customers by 17% of the
number of existing customers each year. Meanwhile, for the institutional
aspect, there are opportunities for institutional development from the Service
Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD)
institutional form to an institutional form with the Financial Management
Pattern of the Regional Public Service Agency (PPK-BLUD). As for the
results of this research, it can be implemented as a consideration for the
Makassar City Government in making decisions to carry out IPLT rehabilitation
and planning. Besides that, it also provides strategic recommendations and
solutions to existing financial problems to the Makassar City UPTD PAL in institutional
management, especially in the development of the UPTD PAL itself.

INTRODUCTION
Based on Ministry regulation No. 68 of 2016 it is
explained that domestic wastewater is waste water produced from various forms
of household activities (Pangestu, 2021). Some of the waste
comes from latrines and some comes from bathrooms, washing clothes, kitchen
utensils and eating and drinking utensils that contain leftovers. Waste
requires processing if it turns out to contain polluting compounds that result
in creating damage to the environment or potentially creating pollution (Ginting, 2007). Meanwhile, sewage
sludge if not treated properly can produce contaminants that have the potential
to pollute water bodies because they do not meet water quality standards (Kristanto, 2004). Waste quality
shows the specifications of the waste as measured by the amount of pollutant
content in the waste which consists of various parameters (Muthawali, 2013). The smaller the
parameter and the concentration, the smaller the chance for environmental
pollution (Lukman, Pratiwi, & Rosdiana, 2021).
The Nipa-Nipa IPLT
was built in 1999, renovated in 2013 by building an Imhoff tank and a sludge
drying building as well as sanitation facilities such as water for rinsing and
so on. This WWTP is capable of treating 100 m3/day of sewage based on
the initial design. The treatment unit at this IPLT consists of an Imhoff tank, a Solid Separation Chamber (SSC)
pond, an anaerobic pond, a Sludge Drying Bed (SDB), a facultative pond, and a
maturation pond. Sludge treatment at the IPLT is an advanced treatment, because
the sewage sludge that has been treated in the septic tank is not suitable for
disposal to the environmental media. Sludge that accumulates in the pits and
septic tanks that are regularly drained or emptied is then transported to the IPLT using a fecal truck. It's just that
in Makassar City itself, the use of septic tanks in accordance with SNI is
still very minimal and this also affects the performance of the IPLT. Moreover, Sanitation management
practices were discovered to not be applied systematically to drive strategic,
long-term sanitation service (Chong, Abeysuriya, Hidayat, Sulistio, & Willetts, 2016).
Based on the existing conditions of the Makassar City
Nipa-Nipa IPLT and paying attention
to the management system carried out, it is feasible to conduct research in
terms of several aspects, namely technical aspects, institutional aspects and
financial aspects. This is considering that Makassar City with an area of
175.77 km² and a population of 1,423,877 people is a large city with a
population density of 15 sub-districts that are quite diverse, where the
highest population density is located in Makassar District with a density of
32.566 people/km2 at a rate of 32.566 people/km2. population growth
of 1.29% per year (“Kota Makassar Dalam Angka,” 2020). Meanwhile, data
from IUWASH (2021) states that as many as 317,317 houses in Makassar City have
permanent healthy latrines equipped with septic tanks.
From the explanation above, it is necessary to evaluate
the processing unit at the Makassar Nipa-Nipa IPLT on the technical aspect to find out how to maximize the sludge
treatment at this IPLT, then on the
financial aspect to find out how much investment and investment feasibility is
in maximizing the performance of the IPLT
unit, and evaluation of the institutional aspects to determine the driving and
inhibiting factors in order to obtain strategies and policies that can be
applied in the operation of the Makassar Nipa-Nipa IPLT so that the IPLT
operation can be carried out in accordance with the SOP.
The construction of the IPLT is one of the planned efforts to improve the treatment and
disposal of waste that is friendly to the environment and also examines the
characteristics of the effluent of sewage sludge. 68 of 2016 so as not to
pollute the environment. Therefore, this research has the title
"Performance Evaluation of Nipa-Nipa Sludge Treatment Plant (IPLT) in Makassar".
Fecal sludge sent to treatment plants has a wide range of
properties. Due to a lack of analytical capacity for characterization and
monitoring at many treatment plants, it is difficult to adapt treatment process
operations accordingly (Ward et al., 2021).
The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of
the processing unit at the Makassar Nipa-Nipa IPLT so that it is known which processing unit needs
rehabilitation, to conduct a financial analysis regarding the feasibility of
investing in the rehabilitation of the Makassar Nipa-Nipa IPLT unit with 3 analytical methods, and to determine the
institutional management strategy in the development Institutional UPTD PAL
Makassar based on the results of FFA (Force Field Analysis) analysis.
METHOD
The method used to
evaluate the technical aspects is a comparison between the design criteria of
planning and the design of existing criteria. Furthermore, for the evaluation
of aspects using the NPV (Net Present Value) method, the BCR (Benefit Cost
Ratio) method, and the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) method to determine the
economic feasibility of the existing and post-rehabilitation IPLT. Then the institutional aspect to
analyze the management and operation of the IPLT using the FFA (Force Field
Analysis) method so that a strategy can be obtained to develop the
institutional form of UPTD PAL
Makassar as the manager of the current Nipa-Nipa IPLT.
Data
collection
Data were collected from
primary and secondary data. Primary data includes:
a. Laboratory tests of wastewater quality (TSS,
BOD, COD, Oil & Fat, Ammonia, pH, and Total Coliform) at each Nipa-Nipa
Makassar IPLT treatment unit as a
basis for evaluation on technical aspects.
b. Interview about the current institutional
condition of the Makassar IPLT Nipa-Nipa to determine the internal and external
factors that support the FFA analysis. Interviews were conducted with UPTD PAL employees related to the
management and operation of IPLT.
Secondary data includes:
a. Existing data from the Nipa-Nipa IPLT Makassar in the form of:
1) Physical conditions in the form of the
dimensions of each processing unit at the Nipa-Nipa IPLT.
2) The existing condition is in the form of
completeness and damage to the current Nipa-Nipa IPLT processing unit.
b. The number of trucks entering the IPLT per day to determine the flow of
mud entering the IPLT per day.
c. The number of IPLT operational staff as the target in the interview for primary
data needs.
d. IPLT Nipa-Nipa financial reports regarding
community retribution, operating and maintenance costs, as well as other income
and expenditure data as a basis for calculating financial aspects.
Data
analysis
After collecting primary
and secondary data, analysis is then carried out. Then the results of data
analysis are used to evaluate the three aspects, namely technical, financial,
and institutional. The evaluation is carried out by comparing the results of
primary or monitoring data and secondary data with standards, guidelines,
manuals and SNI, both technical and non-technical.
In this study, the method
used to analyze the technical aspects is the calculation and comparison method,
namely calculating the feasibility of the dimensions of the current IPLT
processing unit and comparing them with the dimensions of the processing unit
in the design criteria. Meanwhile, to analyze the financial aspect, the NPV,
BCR, and IRR analysis methods are used to calculate the financial feasibility.
And to analyze the institutional aspects, the FFA analysis method is used to
obtain strategies that can be used to develop institutional forms at the
current UPTD PAL Makassar City.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A.
Technical Aspects
Evaluation of the IPLT unit is carried out to determine
the processing capacity of each unit which can be compared with the design
criteria so that it can be seen whether the operation of this unit has been
maximized or not. From the results of this evaluation, it can also be seen what
actions can be taken to maximize the IPLT unit so that it can treat sludge
according to its needs.
1. Imhoff tank unit
Imhoff tank function to
separate the solids that can settle with the liquid contained in the feces. The
tank is divided into two compartments (rooms) which are partitioned. The upper
middle compartment functions as a settling/ sedimentation room (settling compartment) and the lower
compartment functions as a processing room (digestion compartment).
Judging from the
dimensions of the existing Imhoff tank, namely W x L x H = 4.5m x 4.5m x 4.5m,
with an Imhoff capacity of around 20-25 m3/day if adjusted to the design
criteria, the depth of the Imhoff tank is still lacking. And if it is operated
again, this Imhoff tank will require a fairly expensive cost for rehabilitation
whereas if you look at the current conditions, the sewage treatment system with
the Imhoff tank has begun to be abandoned because the incoming sewage sludge is
not continuous so that it can cause blockages and that is what happened in the
current Nipa-Nipa IPLT, so that if forced, the blockage will still occur again,
plus in this IPLT there is already an SSC unit with more or less the same
function.
The recommendation for the imhoff tank unit is
that the imhoff unit should no longer be used in the
Makassar City sewage treatment system, because the characteristics of Makassar
City sewage entering the desludging tank mostly consist of sand so that it will
make it difficult to drain, and the imhoff unit is
estimated to no longer be able to accommodate sewage sludge. that enter with
the existing dimensions.
2.
Pool Solid Separation
Chamber (SSC)
SSC is an alternative
for concentration units. The working principle is very simple because it only
relies on a physical process for the separation of solids from sewage sludge.
After separation, irradiation is carried out using sunlight as disinfection and
wind for reducing humidity or drying. Solid
Separation Chamber serves to separate solids and liquids from domestic
wastewater. Sludge that is spread evenly on the SSC media will experience a
separation between the solids at the bottom and the liquids at the top. Some of
the liquid can be separated from the fecal sludge through the infiltration
process on the SSC media, then the separated liquid is further processed in the
stabilization unit contained in the IPLT.
Meanwhile, the solids that have been drained are further dried in the sludge
drying unit.
Judging from the existing dimensions of the SSC pond, if it is
adjusted to the design criteria for the planning of the SSC pond, the correct
results are obtained, only if you look at the current operation of the
Nipa-Nipa IPLT where the SSC pond is
used as an IPLT inlet pond, the
existing dimensions of the SSC pond are still very small. Seeing the capacity
per unit inlet of the SSC pond is only3 with a sedimentation zone volume of 4.56 m3 and the average discharge of mud entering the IPLT is3/ day, it can be seen that the capacity of this SSC unit is still
very small. With this existing condition, it can be estimated that only 1 truck
of feces per day can be filled.
In addition, judging
from the operation of the SSC unit, it is still not in accordance with the
existing SOP and with the design criteria above, where the minimum residence
time is 3-5 days for the deposition process so that the resulting cake is
cooked. Even in the design criteria in accordance with the Regulation of the
Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Number 4 of 2017 Attachment II,
2017, the cake drying time can reach 5-12 days, so the operation is still not
appropriate. Where when the fecal sludge enters the SSC unit, it is directly
flowed to the anaerobic unit by only filtering solids with a size large enough
in this SSC unit. This unit is also not equipped with a roof so that rainwater
becomes an obstacle for the process of drying/ reducing the amount of water in
the fecal during the rainy season.
Furthermore, the
collection of cooked cakes which should be taken every day and brought to the
SDB unit is also not carried out, because the process carried out at the SSC
unit only filters coarse solids in the form of garbage with a size large enough
then the waste will be cleaned manually by the operator, plus for the existing
condition, the pipe that was supposed to drain the mud from the SSC unit to the
SDB unit was clogged and was no longer in operation.
From the evaluation results above,
recommendations can be given for the SSC unit at the Nipa-Nipa IPLT, namely
re-operating the existing SSC unit with the aim of increasing the processing
capacity and also adding a roof to the SSC unit considering that one of the
functions of this SSC unit is for the separation of mud with a certain
residence time so that there will be changes in the quality of the mud if the
rainy season with the same residence time, it is better to make a roof for this
unit. In addition, the operation is adjusted to the existing SOP so that it can
maximize the performance of the SSC unit and the SDB unit can also be operated
again.
3. Anaerobic Ponds
Anaerobic ponds are effectively
used to treat wastewater containing high solids, where these solids will settle
to the bottom of the pond and be digested anaerobically. The supernatant liquid
that has undergone the process is flowed into the facultative pond for further
processing.
The successful operation of an anaerobic pond depends on the
balance between acid-forming microorganisms and methane bacteria, so the
temperature must be greater than 15ºC and the pH greater than 6. Under these
conditions, the accumulation of sludge in the pond is low so that removal
(dredging) of sludge is necessary when the pond is halfway full (3-5 years). At
<15ºC the anaerobic pond only functions as a sludge storage tank.

Based on the existing area of each, which is 190.61m2 and the area that
should be 363m2 from the calculation of
the area in the anaerobic pond I, the area is already according to the incoming
BOD capacity, where in this IPLT it
is made into two pools with a series position and when calculating the area of
the anaerobic pond in the second pool with the incoming BOD load, it is also
in accordance with the design criteria for the pool area, only if it is
adjusted to the design criteria according to the Regulation of the Minister of
Public Works and Public Housing Number 4 of 2017 Attachment II, 2017 where the
depth of the anaerobic pond must be 2-5m, it means that by design, the existing
anaerobic pond of the Nipa-Nipa IPLT still does not meet the design criteria. Moreover,
for the volumetric BOD load still exceeds the design criteria.
As for the design criteria with retention time, it is also in
accordance with the existing retention time with the amount of BOD that comes
in, it's just that the operation of the anaerobic pond at the IPLT is still not in accordance with the
design criteria where the minimum residence time is 3-5 days and according to Metcalf, Eddy, and Tchobanoglous (1991)
detention time is 20-50 days where in the existing conditions there is no
control over that time and as previously explained that the success of the
operation of an anaerobic pond depends on the balance between acid-forming
microorganisms and methane bacteria, so the temperature must be greater than
15ºC and the pH greater of 6. Under these conditions, the accumulation of
sludge in the pond is low so that sludge removal (dredging) is required when
the pond is half full (3-5 years). At <15ºC the anaerobic pond only
functions as a sludge storage tank. While in operation there is no periodic
check of temperature and pH, nor is mud dredging carried out periodically in
the anaerobic pond at the Nipa-Nipa IPLT.
Recommendations
can be given in the form of rehabilitation of the anaerobic pond by increasing
the depth of the pond and operating the anaerobic pond in accordance with the
existing SOPs to maximize the performance of the WWTP anaerobic pond and it is
also necessary to drain the sludge and crust of the hardened sludge as a whole
to stabilize it. anaerobic treatment system because physically it can be seen
on the surface of the anaerobic pond there is mud that hardens caused by the
drying process that occurs so that it covers part of the surface of the pond.
In addition, it is also necessary to add a roof to the anaerobic unit
considering how the anaerobic process works by utilizing microorganisms, so
that excess sunlight will affect the performance of microorganisms, so it is
necessary to add a roof for the two anaerobic pond units at the Nipa-Nipa IPLT.
4.
Facultative ponds
Facultative ponds are the most common oxidation ponds. The main
thing in this system is always followed by two or more maturation pools.
Facultative ponds can be used for BOD removal. In the Regulation of the
Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Number 4 of 2017 Attachment II,
2017 it is explained that the facultative pond functions to decompose and
reduce the concentration of organic matter in the waste that has been treated
in anaerobic ponds implementation of facultative pond planning is determined
based on the surface BOD loading rate (λs, kg/Ha.day). The facultative
pond planning is based on the design criteria listed in Table 3 below.

Looking at the results
of the calculation of the surface area dimensions of the existing facultative
pond, it is in accordance with the design criteria if the calculation is
carried out according to the amount of BOD that enters the existing facultative
pond. Then for the retention time, after calculating it was found that it still
does not meet the design criteria because the BOD value entered is too small,
it's just that if the calculation is carried out again in accordance with
Attachment II of the PUPR Ministerial Regulation No. 04 of 2017 then the results
of the retention time are in accordance with the design criteria. It's just
that in existing operations, there has never been a drain on the facultative
pond in the last 2 years and has not followed the rules according to the
retention time in the SOP.
Recommendations that can be given from the
evaluation results of facultative pond units are in the form of operating a
facultative pond in accordance with existing SOPs so that in its operation it
achieves maximum performance so that a 70-90% reduction in contaminants in the
form of BOD is obtained according to the design criteria. Compliance with SOPs
also applies to draining and dredging sludge that settles in facultative ponds.
5.
Maturation Pond
The final stage of
sewage sludge treatment is to reduce the number of pathogenic organisms
contained in the treated water. This method of reducing the number of
microorganisms in the processed water can be done by disinfection (using
chemicals such as chlorine or chlorine)
or by using a maturation pond.
The maturation pond
functions to allow microorganisms to die by themselves due to a lack of organic
substances as a source of life energy. The death of microorganisms in the
maturation tank will occur because the amount of organic substances that enter
the maturation tank is low enough, while the number of microorganism
populations is still high, resulting in starvation which in turn causes the
death of microorganisms.

In the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public
Housing Number 4 of 2017 Appendix II, 2017 it is explained that the maturation
pond functions to reduce fecal coliforms in wastewater through rapid changes in
conditions and high pH.
Judging from the results
of the calculation on the ability of the maturation pond to remove faucal coliform
bacteria, the value of 52.44 MPN/100 ml was obtained, where this value was
already below the effluent quality standard for maturation ponds in accordance
with Government regulation LHK No. 68 of 2016 which is 3000 MPN/100 ml, which
means the reduction in total coli has been maximized and has reached the
quality standard with 1 maturation pond. Judging from the results of the
calculation of the surface area of the pool, which is 40 m2, the value is far below
the existing surface area of 881,029 m2, which means that the
condition of the existing maturation pond based on the pool area is in
accordance with the design criteria. The rest only depends on the operation of
this unit, which is the same as the previous facultative pond, which must be
operated according to the existing SOP so that routine checks and routine
drains are carried out according to the SOP.
Based on the results of the design
evaluation of the maturation pool, the dimensions of the existing pool are in
accordance with the design criteria, so that the operation of this pool is only
recommended for operation in accordance with SOPs so that the performance of
the pool can work optimally. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention
to the time of draining and testing the effluent from this pond on a regular
basis in order to avoid pollution to the environment.
6. Sludge
Drying Bed
Sludge
drying bed is a sludge treatment method used in small and medium sized
installations (Qasim Syed, 1985). This unit serves
to reduce the water content of the sludge that has been stabilized so that it
is easy to dispose of or use. This mud in addition to having a large volume
also contains high organic substances, so it does not meet the requirements if
it is disposed of directly without going through first processing. The sludge
produced by this unit is transported to the disposal site, while the
supernatant produced is returned to the biological treatment unit for
reprocessing. This is because the supernatant still contains high organic
matter.
Sludge
drying bed consists of a layer of coarse sand with a depth of 15-25 cm, a
layer of gravel of different sizes, and pipes with holes to allow water to flow
(Siregar, 2005).
This method is most
widely used because of its easy operation, low cost and high concentration of
solid sludge with good quality. Sludge concentration can be increased by
extending the drying time. In addition, the system is not sensitive to changes
in the characteristics of the sludge (Metcalf et al., 1991).

Drying Bed serves to dry stabilized
sludge. The sludge that has been dried in the Sludge Drying Bed is expected to have a high solids content (20
– 40% solids). Sludge Drying Bed consists
of:
1)
Tub, in the form of a shallow tub filled with sand as a filter
medium and gravel as a support for the sand; and
2)
The filtered water channel (filtrate) located at the bottom of the
bottom of the tub.
Based on the
design evaluation results from this SDB unit, the dimensions of the SDB unit at
the IPLT are in accordance with the design criteria, only if it is adjusted to
the sludge drying bed according to the following figure, it can be seen
that the SDB unit at the Nipa-Lin Wastewater Treatment Plant is This nipa needs
to be improved by adding sand as a filter medium and gravel as a sand buffer.
In addition, it is also recommended to clean the pipes leading to the SDB unit
from other units in the IPLT or replace the pipes in pipes that can no longer
be used, so that the SDB unit can be operated again and its operation can be
maximized.
7. Percentage of Reduction in Processing Units
Before providing recommendations, it
can be seen the comparison of the percentage of contaminant removal from the
existing IPLT unit and the percentage of contaminant removal according to the
following design criteria:

Looking at the results of the calculation of the percentage
decrease for the parameters above, it shows that the results obtained are
already below the standard the quality of domestic wastewater in accordance
with Government regulation LHK No. 68 of 2016, where the BOD parameter is 30
mg/l, the COD parameter is 100 mg/l, and the TSS parameter is 30 mg/l. Thus, it
can be concluded that the treatment unit at the existing IPLT is still able to reduce contaminants so that the treated water
is safely discharged into the environment by maximizing its performance without
the need for additional processing units.
B.
Financial Aspect
Currently, the Nipa-Nipa IPLT is still
not financially feasible, so additional costs are needed to overcome this
problem. The additional costs that are very likely to exist in this IPLT are
from the addition of the number of customers. Where in this study provides a
repair plan, so the possibility of adding customers after the repair is very
possible considering the performance of the IPLT has also been stable. In
addition, this increase in the number of customers is actually the target of
the IPLT which has been stipulated in the Makassar City Mayor Regulation No.33
of 2018 which states that the minimum population served for SPALD-S is 60%. The
following is a financial calculation and analysis using the same 3 methods
assuming the addition of the number of customers, which is 17% of the current
number of customers.
1. NPV Analysis
NPV analysis carried
out is the same as the previous NPV analysis in the existing condition with the
assumption that the number of customers increases by 17% per year and with the
same NPV indicators, namely:
a) If NPV > 0
(positive), then the project is feasible (feasible) to be implemented.
b) If NPV < 0
(negative), then the project is not feasible (not feasible) to be implemented.
In the financial
analysis of this plan, the benefits and costs of the recapitulation of repair
costs, operational costs and maintenance of the IPLT are used which have been
detailed previously. The details of the Benefit-Cost used are as follows:

Depends on equation 3.3:
NPV1 = Rp 191.972.742,42
Based on the above calculation, this IPLT is
able to produce a net value for 10 years at an internal rate of 10% of NPV
value > 0 (positive) then the investment is declared feasible. Thus, from
the results of the NPV analysis which states that it is financially feasible,
the planning for additional IPLT customers by 17% per year is declared
financially feasible.
2.
BCR Analysis
BCR calculation uses the Gross
BCR which is the profit received by a project from each unit cost
incurred. In the Gross BCR, the
numerator is the total present value flows
benefit (gross) and the
denominator is the total present value
flows cost (gross). The BCR
indicators are as follows:
• If BCR > 1, then the project is BCR
• If BCR < 1, then the project is not
feasible not feasible is
implemented)
a)
If BCR > 1, then the project is feasible
b)
If BCR < 1, then the project is not feasible
BCR =
1,0338
Based on the above calculation, the BCR value = 1.0338 is
obtained, which means that from each unit of cost incurred in the IPLT it is
able to generate a gross profit of 1.0338. Based on the gross BCR > 1, this
project is feasible. From this analysis, the results show that this IPLT is
financially feasible with the addition of 17% of customers per year.
3.
IRR analysis
a)
The higher the IRR value, the more feasible the investment willbe.
b)
An investment can be accepted if the IRR is greater than the
interest rate (10%).
To find the IRR, it is necessary to calculate
the NPV with another DF. In this project, the new DF value is 12% the same as
the second DF in the existing IRR calculation. The following calculation uses a
DF of 12%.

Depends on equation 3.3:
NPV2 = Rp 63. 279.166,92
Depends on
equation 3.5:
IRR = 13%
Based on the above
calculation, the IRR value is 13%, this means the project's ability to generate
a return of 13% percent (> 10%), so that based on the IRR criteria, the
project feasible to run.
Thus, from the results
of the financial feasibility analysis on the Nipa-Nipa IPLT with a planned addition of 17% customers per year with 3 methods
used, namely the NPV method, the BCR method, and the IRR method, the analysis
results show that the Nipa-Nipa IPLT
is financially feasible with the planning.
C.
Institutional Aspects
The FKK analysis results can be used to turn the Regional
Technical Service Unit (UPTD) into the Financial Management Pattern of the
Regional Public Service Agency (PPK-BLUD) (Anggraini,
2011). PPK-BLUD was chosen to provide Nipa-Nipa IPLT services to the
community without prioritizing profit. In Government Regulation No. 23 of 2005
concerning Financial Management of Public Service Agencies and Minister of Home
Affairs Regulation No. 61 of 2007 concerning Technical Guidelines for Financial
Management of Regional Public Service Agencies, the government regulated the
institutional concept of Financial Management of the Public Service Agency
(Regional).
With the use of the institutional idea as a BLUD, the next funding
plan concept at UPTD PAL Makassar is to allow the institution ease in
controlling its finances, hence reducing the share of funding from the APBD.
Hopefully they'll become more autonomous. Implementing the Regional Public
Service Agency's Financial Management Pattern (PPK-BLUD) delivers direct
community services.
UPTD PAL Makassar has prepared substantive, technical, and
administrative requirements to apply the PPK-BLUD institutional concept with
BLUD financial management as regulated in Minister of Home Affairs Regulation
Number 61 of 2007 concerning Technical Guidelines for Financial Management of
Regional Public Service Agencies.
According to (Rahmawati, 2021),
to achieve technical requirements, the UPTD's service performance must be able
to be managed through the BLUD by improving service delivery effectively,
efficiently, and productively. The head of Public Works recommends these
requirements. UPTD PAL's financial performance is stable, as evidenced by
rising service income and effective expense financing.

Analysis of
institutional aspects was carried out using the FFA (Force Field Analysis)
method to determine the driving and inhibiting factors in the management of the
Nipa-Nipa IPLT so that a strategy for
the institutional development of UPTD
PAL Makassar could be obtained either from internal factors of the Nipa-Nipa IPLT institution itself or from external
factors.

Assessment of Driver and Barrier Factors
a)
Level of Urgency and Weight of Factors
After identifying the driving and inhibiting factors that affect
the UPTD PAL Makassar institution
from external factors internal or external, then an assessment will be carried
out to determine and determine which factors are more urgent by comparing one
factor to another, so that the Urgency Value (NU) and Factor Weight (BF) of
each driving factor and factor will be obtained. Inhibitors.
b)
Evaluation of Driver and Barrier Factors
After the results of the
comparison of each factor are obtained, the Urgency Value (NU) and Factor
Weight (BF) can then be evaluated then the driving and inhibiting factors can
be evaluated to find out which factors have the most influence or who be a Key
Success Factor (FKK).
c)
Determination of Key Success Factors (FKK)
Based on the results of
the above calculation, it can be obtained that the FKK value is determined
based on the 2 largest Total Value Values of each driving factor (Strengths
and Opportunities) as well as the inhibiting factors (Weaknesses and Threats).
From the calculation evaluation results in Table 10 above, the FKK values
obtained are as follows:

CONCLUSION
The results of the evaluation of
the processing unit at the Nipa-Nipa IPLT
Makassar indicate that the existing processing unit can still be operated and
still able to reduce levels of contaminants and below the quality standard with
improvements to several processing units without additional units. Where the
treatment units that need improvement are anaerobic ponds I - II which need to
increase the height of the pond, SSC ponds and anaerobic ponds I - II which
need to be roofed and the closure of the Imhoff tank pond. The rest only needs
to be maximized in the post-repair IPLT
operation in accordance with the existing SOP so that the processing unit can
maximize its processing.
The results of the evaluation on
the financial aspect using the NPV (Net Present Value) method, the BCR (Benefit
Cost Ratio) method, and the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) method indicate that
in the existing condition, the IPLT still suffers losses in its management and
operation. After the analysis, the financial condition of the IPLT management can recover and make a
profit if there are additional customers by 17% per year from the number of
existing customers.
As for the institutional aspect,
the results of the evaluation using the FFA (Force Field Analysis) method show
that after improvements have been made to IPLT
and after the restoration of financial conditions at this IPLT, it is possible
for institutional development from the UPTD
form to become an institution with the Financial Management Pattern of the
Public Service Agency. Regions (PPK-BLUD)
which operationally provide direct services to the community and prioritize the
principles of efficiency and productivity.
Referring to the results of the
evaluation and analysis of the research, for further research it is recommended
that there be an analysis for other possible sources of income in this IPLT by
looking at the existing business opportunities so that it is possible to achieve
faster financial recovery for the management (operation and maintenance) of all
aspects involved related in this Nipa-Nipa IPLT.
