ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas pengolahan air gambut menggunakan media filter terdiri dari zeolit, cangkang Kerang Darah (Anadara granosa) dan bioring dengan perbandingan 25%:50%:25% (P2); 50%:25%:25% (P3); 25%:25%:50% (P4). Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Penggalaman, Kalimantan Selatan dengan mengukur parameter pH, DO, suhu dan BOD. Hasil penelitian menunjukan ketiga perlakukan telah efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas air. Perlakuan P3 meningkatkan pH dengan persentase akhir yaitu 6,45% dan menurunkan kadar BOD dengan persentase akhir yaitu 19,40%. Perlakuan P4 paling efektif meningkatkan DO dengan persentase akhir yaitu 164,28%. Perlakuan P2 meningkatkan suhu dengan persentase akhir 8,54%. Berdasarkan hasil uji anova satu arah tidak ada perbedaan nyata antar perlakuan secara signifikan (Fhitung < Ftabel).

ABSTRACT

This research is an experimental study using a Completely Randomized Design method aimed at determining the effectiveness of peat water treatment using filter media consisting of Zeolite, Blood Mussel (Anadara granosa) shells and bioring in a ratio of 25%:50%:25% (P2); 50%:25%:25% (P3); 25%:25%:50% (P4). The research was conducted in Penggalaman Village, South Kalimantan by measuring the parameters pH, DO, temperature and BOD. The research results show that the three treatments have been effective in improving water quality. P3 treatment increased pH with a final percentage of 6.45% and reduced BOD levels with a final percentage of 19.40%. P4 treatment was most effective in increasing DO with a final percentage of 164.28%. P2 treatment increased the temperature with a final percentage of 8.54%. Based on the results of the one way ANOVA test, there were no significant differences between treatments (Fcount < Ftable).
