Water Treatment Using Manganese Zeolite And Carbon Filters Active Aulia

Abstract

Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation, or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment. Water treatment removes contaminants and undesirable components, or reduces their concentration so that the water becomes fit for its desired end-use. This treatment is crucial to human health and allows humans to benefit from both drinking and irrigation use. One of the problems faced today is how to treat existing water sources using a simple system so that water containing chemicals that exceed the quality standards, cloudy and polluted can be processed into clean water suitable for public consumption as a solution the amount of clean water can be increased. The purpose of this research is to treat water containing chemicals and the like which exceed water quality standards into clean water so that it is fit for consumption. The program results in a water filter technology for river water and groundwater with a tank capacity of 1.000 liters. The results of tests showed that the quality of the water is better than before, such as the smell and taste are no longer smelly and don't taste brackish. The results of physical parameter measurements for TDS of 319 mg/l have met the quality standard (1000 mg/l), and chemical parameters for pH of 6.5 have met the quality standard (6.5-8.5). The results of tests and measurements of water samples that are filtered show that the water is suitable for consumption as drinking water, but it is not ready yet to be drunk like mineral water on the market. As for daily needs such as bathing and washing, water is suitable for use because the waste and residue contained in river water have been separated through a filtering process.
