Abstract

Water with high turbidity reduces the effectiveness of disinfectants and complicates the work of filtration units, as well as impacting health and the environment. It is necessary to treat water using alternative coagulants to chemical coagulants, such as Moringa seed powder (Moringa oleifera lam) and porang powder (Amorphophallus muelleri blume) which are stronger against friction during floc formation.The type of research quasi experiment and nonequivalent control group design. The research subject clean water from Reservoir and the research object was turbidity parameters. There were 3 variations of coagulant concentrations, those are 0,05 gr/l, 0,1 gr/l, and 0,2 gr/l. The results showed that the water purification process with an initial turbidity levels is 10,86 NTU, using moringa seed powder (Moringa oleifera lam) concentration of 0,05 gr/l reduced 0,57 NTU (94,73%), 0,1 gr/l reduced 0,78 NTU (92,77%), 0,2 gr/l reduced 1,52 NTU (85,93%), while porang powder (Amorphophallus muelleri blume) of 0,05 gr/l reduced 0,66 NTU (93,92%), 0,1 gr/l reduced 0,72 NTU (93,35%), 0,2 gr/l reduced 1,62 NTU (85,01%). Moringa seed powder (Moringa oleifera lam) with a reduction effectiveness of 85,93%-94,73% and porang powder (Amorphophallus muelleri blume) of 85,01%-93,92%. The results of the two-way anova test analysis, there are differences in the effectiveness of moringa seed powder (Moringa oleifera lam) and porang powder (Amorphophallus muelleri blume) to reduce turbidity in clean water. Suggestions for this study, namely the need to develop water purification methods using natural coagulants and add variations in settling time.
