Pengaruh Ketebalan Media Pada Pengolahan Air Gambut Dengan Biosand Filter Multimedia
Peatwater is water with a pH value ranging from 3-4, reddish-brown in color, containing high levels of organic matter, iron, and manganese, making it unsuitable for household use. One alternative to improve the quality of peat water is through the use of a multimedia biosand filter, which involves filtration using more than two types of media, such as pumice stone, quartz sand, and zeolite arranged sequentially in the biosand filter with gravel at the bottom layer for support. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of filter media thickness on the improvement of peat water quality based on pH, color, and organic matter parameters. In this research, five variations of media thickness were used, varying the thickness of quartz sand and pumice stone while keeping the zeolite thickness constant at 10 cm. Variation 1 had a pumice stone thickness of 40 cm and quartz sand thickness of 20 cm, Variation 2 had a pumice stone thickness of 35 cm and quartz sand thickness of 25 cm, Variation 3 had a pumice stone thickness of 30 cm and quartz sand thickness of 30 cm, Variation 4 had a pumice stone thickness of 25 cm and quartz sand thickness of 35 cm, and Variation 5 had a pumice stone thickness of 20 cm and quartz sand thickness of 40 cm. The filtration rate used was 0.25 m3/m2/hour. The best result from this study was Variation 5, which demonstrated the ability to increase the pH value by 39.96%, reduce color content by 95.23%, and decrease organic matter by 96.77%. These results meet the standards for clean water according to the PERMENKES No. 32 of 2017.
