Teknologi Sistem Plasma Radio –Frekuensi (RF) Untuk Menghilangkan Bakteri Escherichia Coli Pada Air Minum

Abstract

Refill drinking water is a source of public drinking water in Indonesia, but the quality is not guaranteed. less optimal means of water treatment to remove pollutants in Drinking Water Refill (AMIU), especially for raw water containing total coliforms and fecal coliforms cause AMIU quality is uncontrolled. The use of radio frequency plasma technology on AMIU processing system can be used as a solution. Induced plasma system by radio frequency in water can form the active compound. The active compounds will react to microorganisms and causing microorganisms be reduced. In testing wastewater 35,000 MPN (100 %), with plasma frequency of 3,3 MHz, the bacteria can degrade to 6 % and with frequency of 3,7 MHz bacteria can degrade to 0,07 %. 23.000 MPN testing river water (100 %), with plasma frequency of 3,3 MHz setting can degrade the bacteria to 9 % and with 3,7 MHz frequency setting can degrade the bacteria to 6 %.
