EVALUASI PENGARUH PENCUCIAN FILTER TERHADAP KUALITAS AIR DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE ANALISIS DESKRIPTIF

PT Adhya Tirta Sriwijaya is a regional company that produces drinking water. The
water treatment process starts from coagulation, flockulation, sedimentation,
filtration and disinfection. The filtration process in filtration has great benefits in
processing raw water into drinking water. Filtration that filters raw water, needs
to be washed so that it can filter water properly. The filter cleaning is carried out
by the operator by utilizing the water in the filter to wash all parts of the filter so
that it becomes clean from the remaining dirt during the water filtering process.
The problem faced by PT Adhya Tirta Sriwijaya is that the duration of filter washing
is not regular and has not been based on laboratory test observations, especially
on the value of water color and water turbidity. In this study, descriptive analysis
method was used to evaluate the filter washing. The application of this method is
done by collecting data related to water filters such as water color, turbidity / water
turbidity which can determine the duration of washing the water filter. Processing
data with descriptive analysis method. Then associated the relationship between
the value of water color and the value of turbidity / water turbidity on the effect of
washing the water filter for a duration of three months.
