Abstract:
The research aim to increase peat water quality with aerofiltration and
electrocoagulation system, the produk can use as life media of Cyprinus carpio.
This reseach was conducted from Desember 2011 – Maret 2012, Rimbo Panjang
Village, Tambang District District Kampar. The prosesor completed with 2
reaktor, 1st reactor was be content by zeolit, sand and charcoal. 2nd reactor consist
from alluminium plate that act as anoda and catoda. The peat water was taken
from canal of Rimbo panjang village, Kampar regency. The peat water was flown
continuously to the 1st reactor and 2nd reactor with rate of flow 0,6 L/min. The
processed peat water was flown into 3 aquaria as rearing media for Cyprinus
carpio (10 fish/ aquaria). Samplings were conducted 4 times, once/week and
water samples were taken from the inlet and outlet of the 1st reactor and also outlet
of the 2nd reactor. Parameter measured were TSS, colour, H2S and survivalrate of
the fish. The result, consentration from parameters measured while research. The
4nd reseach period, effectiveness TSS about 39,39% (165-52 mg/l), H2S about
82,41% (0,021-0,001mg/l) and colour about 95,24% (189-1075mg/l). And the end
of research have hing effectiveness and then can support rate of survival for
Cyprinus carpio about 100%. The results shown, its can concluded that the
processor was effective in reducing TSS, collour and H2S in the peat water.
