Innovation of Clean Water Treatment Facilities in Hl Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital Environment

Abstract

This study aims to determine the quality of clean water in terms of physical parameters, determine clean water treatment methods and clean water systems that can be applied at HL Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital. This study uses qualitative research by observing the water sources used by HL Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital. Observations were continued by checking the physical condition of the water taken at the control faucet of the Regional Hospital Drinking Water Company. The observations obtained were used as data for analysis. Then the researchers also conducted interviews and documentation. Based on article 2 of the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 416 of 1990 concerning Requirements and Supervision of Clean Water Quality from physical parameters shows that the quality of clean water at H. L Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital sourced from the Regional Drinking Water Company does not meet health standards (water is cloudy and brown in color). To improve the treatment of clean water quality at HL Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital, there are 3 systems offered by the researchers, namely: Slow Sand Filter System, Rapid Sand Filter System and Gravity-Fed Filtering System. From the three systems mentioned above, the researcher recommends a water purification system using a Rapid Sand Filter (Up Flow) with sand and gravel media. Due to the Rapid Sand Filter (Up Flow) can remove turbidity. Meanwhile, sand and gravel media are easy to obtain, and the price is affordable. So, when viewed from the needs and budget aspects of HL Manambai Abdulkadir Hospital, Rapid Sand Filter with sand and gravel media is a fast.
