Turbidity reduction by household scale electrocoagulation device

Pollutant parameter that often exceed the standard is turbidity, then turbidity was main concern in this research. The electrocoagulation method an alternative for treating water without using chemicals. This study aims to reduce and develop previous research on methods into a pilot scale with flow rate of 0.01 L/sec. L/sec illustrates requirements one household. In tested by variation electrode plates 1, 2 3 pairs 3, 5, 7 10 Volts treat artificial sample initial 100 NTU made from raw Cikapundung River as drinking sources Bandung. optimal conditions obtained preliminary were retested variations 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 400 NTU. condition process voltage current density 23.53 A/m2. can up until it reaches quality final 3.40 percentage removal 99.15%.
