Detergents are generally known as a material or product that has the function to separate the material from the surface of the object. Detergent can be grouped into four, it was surfactants which serves to remove dirt well dissolved in water, builders serves to soften hard water and improve the efficiency of surfactants, additives which supplement / additional form of fragrance, softener and bleach. <br /> <br /> To handle these detergents waste can be done by installing a wastewater treatmen tinstallation (IPAL), but the use of the IPAL itself has not much and adrift contour area and installation constraints that tend to be difficult, so that waste management is still not optimal. <br /> <br /> While the use of clean water that involves detergent is 55.5 liters per day in one house, if left to figure this pollution will lead to an alarming number. <br /> <br /> Therefore, in order to reduce the detergent waste, a tool that allows users to organizing waste before dumping into the environment is higly needed. The technology that can optimize the filtration process is riverse osmosis, in the form of membranes with high permeability to water. The basic principle of reverse osmosis is the hydrostatic pressure that exceeds the osmotic pressure of the solution so that the solvent in this case the water can move from the solution that have a high solute concentration to a solution that have a low solute concentration.
