DEVELOPMENT A NATURAL FILTRATION OF CONCENTRATED CONDUCTIVITY FROM INDUSTRIAL REVERSE OSMOSIS AT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY FOR CONDUCTIVITY READING

Abstract

This project focus on development natural dilution process of highly concentrated conductivity from Reverse Osmosis (RO) at one of pharmaceutical company. This company is one of the pharmaceutical companies in Malaysia that is use water as base products. RO become one of the essential process need to produce water with certain grade use for production lines. The highly concentrated conductivity produce from RO cannot flush into drainage system because it can harmful the environment and also against the environmental policy. The main purpose of these studied to dilute the highly concentrated conductivity from RO using natural dilution without using chemical reaction or hazardous materials before flush into drainage system. The highly concentrated conductivity from RO flushed to the first out of five created ponds. Coco yams were plant around the all five ponds because those plants had ability to absorb dissolved metals such as magnesium, calcium, cilium and etc. from water to generate their foods. This process can reduce water conductivity. Koi fish and cat fish also used in certain ponds as indicator whether the ponds can maintain water conductivity or not. Water sample from all ponds sent to chemical laboratory every day for a year to measured conductivity. A year data of water conductivity were analyzed using Microsoft Excel to see the trending of water conductivity. From the analyzed shows this dilution process can decrease the water conductivity without using any chemical reaction or hazardous materials.
