THE INFLUENCE OF FILTER MEDIA CONFIGURATION ON THE QUALITY OF TREATED WATER

Providing clean and safe water has become a staggering challenge due to the increasing demand for clean water supply. In this research project, a multimedia filtration system with silica sand, activated carbon, and zeolite as the filter media will be used to treat the water sample, which is ra...
