Pengaruh Variasi Tekanan Terhadap Aplikasi Membran Nanofiltrasi Pada Sistem Resirkulasi Akuakultur

Abstract

Penggunaan membran nanofiltrasi dengan pengoperasian jangka panjang sebagai unit pengolahan menimbulkan fouling yang tak terhindarkan akibat adanya proses polarisasi konsentrasi pada permukaan membran. Konsentrasi terpolarisasi dan kenaikan tekanan osmotik juga penyebab penurunan fluks permeate. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh tekanan yang diterapkan pada sistem resirkulasi akuakultur dengan teknologi membran nanofiltrasi terhadap konsentrasi kontaminan permeate. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Maret – Juli 2023 yang berlokasi di Laboratorium Terpadu Departemen Teknik Sipil dan Lingkungan, Fakultas Teknologi Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga variasi tekanan yang berbeda yakni tekanan 5, 6, dan 7 bar. Variasi 7 bar memiliki nilai efisiensi penolakan kontaminan amonia dan nitrit sebesar 100%. Pemodelan dilakukan untuk estimasi konsentrasi kontaminan nitrit di permeate membran nanofiltrasi. Hasil uji validasi dengan regresi linear menunjukkan pengembangan pemodelan sangat baik dalam mengestimasi konsentrasi kontaminan permeate membran nanofiltrasi karena memiliki indikator nilai R square mendekati satu.

The use of nanofiltration membranes with long-term operation as a treatment unit causes unavoidable fouling due to the concentration polarization process on the surface of the membrane. Polarized concentrations and increased osmotic pressure also cause a decrease in permeate flux. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of pressure applied to the aquaculture recirculating system with nanofiltration membrane technology on the concentration of permeate contaminants. This research was conducted in March – July 2023 located at the Integrated Laboratory of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Bogor Agricultural University. This study used three different pressure variations, namely 5, 6, and 7 bar. The 7 bar variation has an efficiency value of 100% for rejecting ammonia and nitrite contaminants. Modeling was performed to estimate the concentration of nitrite contaminants in the permeate nanofiltration membrane. The results of the validation test with linear regression showed that the development of modeling was very good in estimating nanofiltration membrane permeate contaminant concentrations because it had an indicator value of R square close to one.
