The irst process is the initial design of the recycling process with thickener unit. Wastewater from recycling used beverages aseptic package process usually contains organic and solids derived from beverages leftover in the aseptic packages, rejects and washed away pulp.

5.1 Wastewater Characterization

Wastewater process 1 has a lower pollution quality, when wastewater process 2 has a lower water low. Although the recirculating process will decrease the wastewater low, but it is increase the pollution quality dearly. These issues probably occurs because of the recirculating process that used on process 2. The ratio of CODBOD are 4.1 and 9.7 for process 1 and process 2 respectively, these numbers are higher than two which means that both wastewater have organic non biodegradable characteristic, it would be more effective to use physical-chemical treatment processess as long as their characteristic are still suspended and colloidal.

5.2. Jar Test

Jar Test experiment has been conducted to estimate the proper coagulant and coagulant aid. The data and observation of the Jar Test were shown on table 2. Jar test experiments were conducted on wastewater process 2 as it has higher pollution quality. Based on jar test, the best coagulant alum suplhate dosage to treat wastewater was 450 mgl, which is clear and without loating loc. The wastewater quality were then tested on laboratory to compare the jar test with laboratory analysis.
