Car washes have become increasingly popular in some areas, but this growth has also had a negative impact on environmental quality, as untreated wash water is often discharged directly into car wash drainage systems without any prior treatment. This discharge of unfiltered wastewater can lead to high levels of COD (chemical oxygen demand) and surfactants in nearby water sources if carried out intensively. Much of the wastewater is often classified as waste. It is discharged by car wash operators into the drainage system and eventually into smaller waterways. In 2014, the Minister of the Environment highlighted the importance of managing cleaning waste due to its harmful effects on the environment and health. Based on the Pekanbaru Municipality's Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2003 on the payment of liquid waste treatment control permit, which stipulates that every industry must carry out waste treatment before discharging into the environment and each industry must also  pay a fee, this study will allow the design of absorption wells, which will be used to treat liquid waste from car washes, so that the wastewater absorbed into the ground is no longer a contaminated liquid waste. By treating the waste by the method of infiltration pits, it is hoped that the environment and the health of the residents around the laundry will be well preserved.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is derived from fresh coconut meat and can be produced through various methods, including enzymatic processes. This study investigates the effect of adding papain enzyme on the antioxidant activity of VCO. The enzymatic method involves extracting coconut milk with the addition of papain obtained from young papaya. The antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH method, while other parameters such as moisture content and free fatty acids were also evaluated.The research highlights that VCO is recognized for its health benefits and versatility in various applications. The enzymatic extraction method offers an efficient means of producing VCO while enhancing its properties. This study specifically focuses on how the incorporation of papain influences both the quality of VCO and its antioxidant capacity.In terms of methodology, the study utilized an enzymatic approach for VCO production by incorporating papain into the extraction process. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH assay, and the resulting VCO was analyzed for moisture content and free fatty acids.The results indicated that VCO produced with papain had a moisture content of 0.22% and free fatty acids of 0.76%, while VCO without enzyme addition showed a moisture content of 0.16%. The antioxidant activity was measured at 18.35 ppm for VCO with papain, compared to 13.51 ppm for pure VCO.In conclusion, the addition of papain enzyme not only accelerated the production of VCO but also enhanced its antioxidant activity, classifying both types of VCO as having strong antioxidant properties. However, it is important to note that the moisture content and free fatty acids in VCO with enzyme addition did not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7381:2008), likely due to residual water from the papaya fruit.
