| dc.description.abstract | Analysis of pH, TDS, hardness and silica content in river water at the Begerpang
Palm Oil Mill has been carried out. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the pH,
TDS, hardness and silica levels in river water that will be used and which are determined
at the BGPOM factory. pH analysis was carried out using the electrometric method, TDS
analysis was carried out using the electrical conductivity method. Hardness analysis was
carried out using the complexometric titration method, and silica content analysis was
carried out using the gravimetric method. The average pH analysis results obtained were:
Raw Water: 7.20, RO: 6.4, Feed Water: 6.80, Boiler Water: 11.20. The average results of
the TDS analysis obtained were: Raw Water: 42.5, RO: 3, Feed Water: 8, Boiler Water:
600. The average results of the hardness analysis obtained were: Raw Water: 10.5, RO,
Feed Water, and Boiler Water, namely: Trace. And the average results of the silica
content analysis obtained were: Raw Water: 43.5, RO: 0.65, Feed Water: 1.30, Boiler
Water: 53.25. From the results of the pH, TDS, hardness and silica content tests in the
river water to be used, it is appropriate and meets the quality standards issued by the
BGPOM factory. | en_US |
