Phytoremediation refers to plants and microorganisms in media to reduce contaminants’ concentration or toxic effects in the environment. Sasirangan is one of the local products of South Kalimantan whose production continues to increase, increasing wastewater as well. Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of the plants that can be used as a phytoremediator in treating Sasirangan wastewater. The purpose of this study was to determine the best pH, TSS, and COD values as well as the greatest decreasing efficiency value of each parameter in Water Hyacinth plants with the phytoremediation method applied to Sasirangan wastewater with variations in exposure time 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days as well as variations in the weight of water hyacinth plants, namely 0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 1.5 kg. Before being exposed, Water Hyacinth must do an acclimatisation process technique to adjust to the new conditions. Acclimatisation was carried out using wastewater for four days. After that, acclimatisation with distilled water for one day. Furthermore, the phytoremediation process was carried out by entering wastewater into each reactor containing Water Hyacinth plants weighing 0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 1.5 kg. Then in each reactor, wastewater samples were taken every three days for 15 days to be analysed for pH, TSS, and COD. The study results obtained the best treatment for phytoremediation using Water Hyacinth plants, namely for the pH parameter at 15 days with a weight of 1.5 kg. Water hyacinth plants obtained a pH of 7.32. This value is close to neutral pH. The greatest TSS reduction efficiency was in Water Hyacinth, weighing 1 kg for nine days of phytoremediation can obtain 71.12% or 54 mg/L. The greatest COD reduction efficiency was in Water Hyacinth plants weighing 0.5 kg for six days of phytoremediation can obtain 88.64 % or 56.8 mg/L. This research concluded that the use of Water Hyacinth effectively reduces pH, TSS, and COD in Sasirangan wastewater so that it is safe to be discharged into the environment.
