Effect Of Venturi Aerator, Pressurized Water Filtration And Magnetic Media In One Unit Of Equipment On Reduction Of Fe Concentration In Clean Water

Abstract

Objective: One of the aeration processes is to reduce excess mineral content in raw water for drinking, such as iron (Fe) content. The decrease in iron content is difficult to remove by a single chemical method, so it is necessary to add water treatment processes, one of which is an aeration unit. various kinds of clean water treatment techniques that we can use including coagulation, filtration, sedimentation and aeration, one of the easiest and most frequently used ways is to make a water filter.  To determine the Effect of Venturi Aerator, Pressurized Water Filtration and Magnetic Media in One Unit of Equipment on the Decrease of Fe Concentration in Clean Water.

Methods: The method used is a quasi-experimental method by means of aeration with a venturi system, pressurized filtration and the use of magnetic media. The population in this study was all water containing fe in the district of Darul Kamal, Aceh Besar. The sample in this study was part of the population according to research needs.

Results: There is an effect of a processing unit consisting of a manufactured or artificial venturi, buffle pipe, magnetic or non-magnetic deposition and a 15 cm or 20 cm thick filter. There was no significant difference in Fe levels without magnets and using magnets and 15 cm and 20 cm thickness. The stability of the decrease in Fe content occurs with the use of magnets and the filter thickness is 20 cm .

Conclusion: processing using the manufacturer's venturi, using magnets is very effective in reducing the Fe Concentration of Clean Water at a filter thickness of 20 cm
