Subsequent studies were then conducted with various turbidity and initial precipitation treatments. Cikapundung River and Cisangkuy River are the main drinking water sources in Bandung with very fluctuating turbidity. In the water supply system, turbidity is one of the important factors to be observed due to several reasons such as aesthetic, consideration of load to filtration, and disinfection process. This study aims to apply the electrocoagulation process to reduce turbidity as an alternative to conventional coagulation system by utilizing Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC). Electrocoagulation is one method of water treatment by combining the process of coagulation, flotation and electrochemistry. In this work, the electrocoagulation experiments were set up by varying the current TI - TURBIDITY REDUCTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PILOT SCALE ELECTROCOAGULATION DEVICES JF - International Journal of GEOMATE DO - 10.21660/2019.56.4682 DA - 2019-04-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/turbidity-reduction-for-the-development-of-pilot-scale-gK7epOPlRt DP - DeepDyve ER -
