Rancang Bangun Peralatan Pemurnian Air dengan Menggunakan Elektrokoagulasi dan Filtras

Abstract

Water is one of the basic human needs so that the body does not become dehydrated. In order for the body to be healthy, it is very important to pay attention to the mineral content of the water consumed. In this research, a combination of electrocoagulation and filtration methods is used for river and well water treatment. The sensors work, which is controlled via an Arduino microcontroller, can measure water pH, TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) and turbidity which produces around 15 liters of water for each process. The results of the designed water filtration test gave good results where river water which had a very high turbidity value could be processed to produce results with a pH content value of 6.51, TDS 97.01 PPM and Turbidity 750 NTU with a processing time of 75 minutes. Meanwhile, for well water processing, results were obtained with a pH content value of 7.29, TDS 188.9 PPM and Turbidity 694 NTU with processing time of 30 minutes. Based on the results of combining the two methods used, it can provide satisfactory results so that people can consume healthy treated water.
