Combination of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch and Multi Media Layer Coir Filter to Treat Water in Mendalo Darat, Jambi

Abstract

The Multi Media Layer Coir Filter is a method of treating liquid waste by utilizing soil as the main medium which is shaped like a brick block and arranged alternately between zeolites. Multi Media Layer System made of acrylic (33x33x36) cm filled with brick blocks (12x7x4) cm mix of volcanic soil, charcoal, palm husk (7.5: 1: 1: 0.5), a permeable layer is used zeolite (1-3 mm). Samples came from the wells of the residents of housing Mendalo mas, Mendalo land in Jambi. The research was conducted with variations in flow rates of 10, 20, 30, 60 mL/minute, and two ways, namely aeration and non-aeration, the best efficiency of the aeration process was 10 ml/minute to reduce pH, odor, color, TDS, turbidity. Hardness, Nitrite, Nitrate, Mn, Fe, Cd, Sulfate, Cl, E. Coli at aeration 7,7, Odorless, 29,90%, 72,30%, 50,70%, 52,62%, 59, 70%, 57.30%, 66.40%, 83.22%, 21.70%, 37.53%, 28.88%, 100% and non-aerated 7,2, Odorless, 25.80%, 63.30%, 35.90%, 58.45%, 49.60%., 45.49%, 46.25,% 78.59%, 18.75%, 37.21%, 28.18%, 100%. From all values, the reduction efficiency of all parameters is fulfilled for potable water.
