Performance Analysis of Ceramic Membranes in Clean Water Treatment on River Water Quality

The clean water treatment process changes the physical, chemical, and biological properties of so that it meets requirements for use as drinking or daily needs. purpose this research is to analyze performance ceramic membranes in processing from Kelekar River into using an environmentally friendly microfiltration–adsorption–ceramic membrane integrated process. was carried out January April 2022 at Chemical Engineering Laboratory Sriwijaya Polytechnic. sampling location River, Karang Raja Village, East Prabumulih. main tools materials are a series filters (microfiltration–adsorption–ceramic membrane) river water. analysis results show microfiltration-adsorption-ceramic equipment can be used treat Based on quality parameters, such BOD5, iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nitrate (NO3-), ammonia (NH3-N), total coliform bacteria after were within environmental standards. Meanwhile, COD nitrite (NO2-) still not meeting standards set by Government Regulation Republic Indonesia No. 22 2021 concerning implementation protection management.
