The production of wastewater in the oil and gas operation should be treated to meet the environmental codes. One of the methods to treat the wastewater is by absorption; before determining absorbent effectiveness, the absorbent has also able to improve wastewater property. The absorbents are bentonite and carbon active. Bentonite in the commercial world is a term for clay containing montmorillonite and is classified as dioctahedral. The carbon active material is made from crushed coconut hush. The purpose of this research is to determine the improvement of wastewater properties quality; namely acidity, TDS, and salinity; with different concentration of bentonite and coconut hush. Bentonite and coconut hush were cleaned and then filtered to a certain size. Both absorbents were activated by using acid. The wastewater was mixed with these absorbents for different concentrations. The laboratory result shows a reduction of acidity up to 1,8 pH, total dissolved solids up to 2934 PPM, and salinity of the wastewater up to 13 PPT. The use of bentonite and coconut hush for the wastewater product of petroleum operation would reduce the wastewater contamination content to meet the environmental codes; with the coconut hush performance was comparable to bentonite performance.
