Abstract

River water often contains a complex mixture of organic and inorganic contaminants that are challenging to remove using conventional treatment methods. This study explores an integrated water purification system combining large-pore activated carbon, polyester fiber filters, and ultrafiltration membranes. Activated carbon demonstrates high affinity for a wide range of pollutants, effectively reducing odor, color, and both organic and inorganic impurities, while also contributing to pH enhancement and reductions in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Polyester fiber filters offer high filtration efficiency, mechanical durability, ease of maintenance, and adaptability, making them suitable as a secondary filtration layer to capture fine particulates not removed by activated carbon. Additionally, the use of ultrafiltration membranes with pore sizes of 0.5 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.1 mm ensures the removal of residual dissolved and suspended solids. The integration of these three technologies is expected to produce clean water that meets Class 1 water quality standards. The system is user-friendly and features a backwashing mechanism, enhancing ease of operation and maintenance.
