ANALISIS PENGARUH VARIASI SUHU DAN BAHAN BAKU KARBON AKTIF PADA SISTEM INSTALASI AIR BERSIH

This study analyzes the effect of temperature variation and activated carbon raw materials on a clean water installation system using brackish water as raw material. Water is a vital basic need, but the availability of clean water is still a problem in many areas. To overcome this, this study conducted a filtration process to process brackish water into clean water. Variations in temperature and types of activated carbon raw materials, namely coconut shells and coal, were tested to determine the most optimum conditions in the filtration process. The results showed that the quality of brackish water before and after the filtration process changed significantly. The effect of temperature variation and type of raw material on the performance of activated carbon in filtering brackish water was tested with physical parameters (turbidity, taste, color, TDS) and chemical parameters (pH, Fe metal content). One way to process dirty water into clean water that is suitable for use by the community is through the filtration method. Filtration is a water purification technique that involves the use of filters. The benefits of this study are to provide practical solutions for processing brackish water into clean water and to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining water quality for health. This study is expected to be a reference for further research and implementation of similar technologies in other areas facing similar problems.
