The industry is expected to manage the garbage it generates. PT. X does not yet have a waste treatment facility for canteen waste, thus the wastewater goes directly into the river. Canteen wastewater contains a significant concentration of oil and fat, reaching 30.6 mg/L, above the quality standard of 5 mg/L. waste water is treated using the electrocoagulation process. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in electrode spacing used in the electrocoagulation method for lowering the oil and fat content of home waste water. This study employed an experimental design with a pretest-posttest structure. Electrode spacing varied between 1 cm, 1.5 cm, and 2 cm. The findings revealed that all distances may reduce oil and fat levels, but the 1.5 cm electrode spacing produced the greatest reduction in oil and fat levels, with a percentage drop of 89.11%. The ANOVA test revealed significant differences across treatment changes (p < 0.05). The 1.5 cm electrode spacing was deemed beneficial because it was within the ideal range, allowing the electrochemical reaction in the electrocoagulation method to perform efficiently to absorb the oil and fat contained in the wastewater and form flocs. This study offers a simple, practical, and efficient solution for enterprises dealing with domestic waste water treatment issues in canteens.
