Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop the Filter Series Reactor of Groundwater (FSRG) from PVC pipes with a downward flow direction from top to bottom. The system consists of reactor 1 manganese reactor. The reactor 2 is a resin reactor tank and the reactor 3 is an activated carbon reactor. FSRG has a diameter of 0.10 meters. Filter layer depth at 1 meters. It has a width ratio:length (<1:4), each tank has an area of 86.55x10-4 square meters. It was found that at an inflow rate (Q-in) of 0.20 cubicmeters/day, at hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 0.04 days, hydraulic loading rate (HLR) was 0.17x10-2 meters/day and Organic Load Rate (OLR) is 3.46x10-2 kg-Fe/m3-day, 4.57 kg-CaCO3/m3-day and effective in removing iron (Fe) and hardness (CaCO3) to 73.33% and 80.00%, respectively. However, the FSRG system should hybrid a reverse osmosis system for more clean water.
