The wastewater treatment process has various kinds of problems that can disturb and hinder the treatment process. Issues that usually occur are wastewater contains irritating and robust odour. Based on the production of different amounts can change the characteristics of effluents. The number of organic variation decreases the effectiveness of biological processing and others. So based on this, the right solution is needed and can expedite the treatment of wastewater. Bio-activator is an excellent material that can be used. Bio-activator consists of naturally occurring microorganisms attached to organic compost. It quickly stimulates the bacteria in situ so that the waste soon decomposes. In the process, it prevents the generation of smells. Bio-activator is entirely natural, and it does not contain any hazardous or poisonous chemicals or enzymes. Bio-activator also inhibits the production of odours, increases the metabolic of bacteria. It is most effective on organically overload treatment plants it increases treatment plant capacity. Bio-activators can come from soils where soils contain lots of microorganisms. The amount of microbes found in the soil depends on the type of soil. Soil consists of micro and macro fauna and flora, which provide an excellent carbon source and a large number of microorganisms. So in this paper, by utilizing microorganisms in the soil as a bio-activator for wastewater treatment.
