Pengolahan Air Gambut Menjadi Air Bersih Secara Kontinyu Di Desa Peunaga Cut Ujong

Abstract

Peat water has a brown color, humic acid content, organic substances, iron and pH levels are very 
 high. To overcome the problem of peat water to be made clean water need to be processing first. 
 Continuous processing of peat water includes; Neutralization, aeration, coagulation – flokulation, and 
 filtration is a complete set of processes but is packaged in a simple form. This process is designed 
 according to the condition and level of education of rural communities in peat water treatment. This 
 study was conducted at a shelter in the village of Peunaga Cut Ujong Meurebo West Aceh. This 
 research aims to reduce acidity, color, turbidity, flavor, iron (Fe), Zeng (Zn), organic matter, nitrate 
 (NO3), and Nitrit (NO2). The research method is an experimental that is directly applied in the field. 
 From the laboratory results in the UPTD Health Banda Aceh has been conducted test water quality 
 before and after processing there are significant results. The results of experimental studies through 
 the simple design of continuous processing using natural materials such as gravel, sand, charcoal and 
 palm fiber and the chemical filling of the capor and alum obtained the results of color dissipation 
 achieved 93.3%, pH of 98.3%, turbidity/cloudiness reached 91.9%, organic substance (KMNO4) of 
 73.3%, hardness of 39.7%, iron (Fe) 94.6%, zinc (Zn) of 91.09%, Flurode 77.33%, Nitrate (NO
 3) of 
 80.04%, and Nitrit (NO
 2) 99.31%. Meanwhile, the result of peat water is no smell and feel. The 
 results of this trial are still under the standard quality of Permenkes RI No. 416/Menkes/PER/IX/1990 
 on the water quality requirements.

Peningkatan Potensi Air Gambut Sebagai Air Baku (Studi Kasus: Kebun Raya Sriwijaya Sumatera Selatan)

“…Pengolahan air gambut menjadi bening serta menghilangkan kandungan bahan organic juga dapat dilakukan dengan proses aerasi dan flokulasi-koagulasi (Suherman & Sumawijaya 2013). Selain itu, pengolahan air gambut juga dapat dilakukan dengan proses pengendapan dan penyaringan (Kiswanto et al 2019). Metode pengolahan air gambut lainnya yang bertujuan untuk menguransi konsentrasi bahan organik pada air dapat dilakukan dengan cara adsorbsi (Elystia et al 2016).…”

Variasi Sinar Ultraviolet pada Sistem Membran Ultrafiltrasi untuk Pengolahan Air Gambut

“…Air gambut merupakan air permukaan yang terdapat di daerah gambut yang terbersar di dataran rendah di wilayah Pulau Kalimantan dan Pulau Sumatera. Karateristikk air gambut di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan mempunyai intensitas warna yang tinggi (berwarna merah kecoklatan), derajat keasaman tinggi (nilai pH rendah), kandungan zat organik tinggi, dan konsentrasi partikel tersuspensi dan ion rendah (Samosir, 2009) Air gambut mempunyai pH yang relatif rendah yaitu kisaran (3)(4)(5), berwarna merah kecoklatan, dan banyak mengandung zat organik sehingga tidak memenuhi syarat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air minum, rumah tangga, maupun sebagai air baku air minum (Kepmenkes No. 492/MENKES/PER/ IV/2010 dan Peraturan Pemerintah No.…”
