Study on the utilization of electrocoagulation concept as a disinfectant substitute in hospital wastewater

The purpose of this study is to identify differences in variations contact time and number electrode plates electrocoagulation process on the decrease total Coliforms Bandung City hospital wastewater. An experimental research with factorial randomized design. volume wastewater sample check was a minimum 100 ml, using 3 treatments 6 repetitions. Data analysis used two-way ANOVA test. results showed that there no significant difference between (p = 0.269), 0.537), 0.863) process. use 90 min best reducing Coliforms, effectiveness reaching 88.38%. This means concept quite effective as substitute for disinfectant.
