| Summary: | Water scarcity has been worsening these days. Indonesia as an archipelagic
country has huge natural water sources, especially salt water. Desalination
technology has been one of the best solutions to solve this problem because of its
capability to change salt water into fresh and potable water. In ITB, there have
been a handful of research to see which variablt can easily affect the amount of
distilled water with the help of independent solar desalination unit. In this study,
an independent solar desalination unit was designed with the best variable from the
previous study. The result shows that the device can produce distilled water for up
to 2.778 L/m2.8hours with 20o
inclination and 2.178 L/m2.8hours with 30o
inclination which increased up to 154%-829% from the previous studies in ITB.
The inclination difference from 30o to 20o
able is to increase distilled water
production up to 28% and efficiency from 19.72% to 23.35%. The distilled water
already fulfilled most of the standard sets by PerMenKes Nomor 492 Tahun 2010
for TDS, conductivity, and salinity parameters. Although, the pH parameter of the
water still has not met the criteria and needs to be treated because of the low pH
range that is between 3.92-4.19. |
