Abstract

Iron is mineral that cause staining of plumbing fixtures  and laundered clothes as wall as produce distinct taste and odors in a drinking water. Aeration is alternative processes for the removal of iron. Sedimentation and filtration will remove the iron precipitates formed in the aeration device. This research uses 2 stages in testing; they are the batch filter and the column filter. On each of the stages we try using activated  sand media. This media is known to able to decrease the Fe²⁺.The water  spring is from the 2^nd deep well at the Prambanan water treatment facility. The goal from this research is to find the criteria design on surface loading and to find out the effectiveness in reducing Fe²⁺ that is in the water by using the media of activated sand. From this experiment we found that the maximal filtration speed on activated  sand is 11,05 m/hour. Calculation analysis shows that the coefficient. Figure of Fe²⁺ in the batch filter on Ngrenehan beach ocean sand filter is λ₁=0,40± 0, l0 m ^-1 with the average on reducing Fe²⁺ 21,37%. This figure is small if it is compare to the coefficient figure of Fe²⁺ in the batch activated sand filter is λ₁=0,92± 0, l6 m ^-1  with the average on reducing Fe²⁺ 42,27%.
