Cow urine has the potential to become biourin. This study aims to determine the effect of the type of
diffuser on the quality of biourin, as well as to determine the best type of diffuser during the fermentation
process. This study used a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and 3 replications.
Each treatment contained 10 liters of urine, 2% nitrifying bacteria, and 2% molasses. The treatment was
carried out without aeration, treatment using aeration without a diffuser, treatment using a fine bubble
diffuser, treatment using a coarse bubble diffuser, and treatment using an aerated stone diffuser. This
fermentation was carried out for 20 days with measurements every 5 days. Parameters observed were
temperature, pH, TDS, EC, C-Organic, N-Total, and C/N Ratio during the fermentation process. The
results of the study showed that the use of several types of diffusers had a significant effect on the
process of fermenting cow urine. The fermentation process without using a diffuser showed that as the
fermentation time increased, the pH value decreased from 7.72 to 7.54. On the 20th day of bio-urine
fermentation, the highest Biochemical Oxygen Demand value was shown by the treatment using a fine
bubble diffuser with a value of 9.2 mg/l. Of the five urine fermentation treatments, only fermentation
with a diffuser met standard No.70/Permentan/SR.140/10/2011. Treatment with a type of fine bubble
diffuser is the best treatment.
