Kaji Eksperimental Pengaruh Medan Magnet Terhadap Kandungan Oksigen Terlarut Pada Sistem Aerasi Perairan

Abstract

Abstrak

This study aims to optimize the performance of a swirl-type microbubble generator (MBG) by utilizing a magnetic field to enhance aeration efficiency. The experimental research was carried out in a laboratory with variations in magnetic field strength ranging from 0 ,200 and 400 gauss and water flow rates of 30 to 50 lpm.

     The main parameters observed were dissolved oxygen (DO).The results indicate that applying a magnetic field can significantly increase the DO level by the MBG. The optimum condition was achieved at a magnetic field strength of 400 gauss, resulting in a final DO of 19,4 mg/L.

    This improvement occurs because the magnetic field influences the surface tension and molecular structure of water, enhancing oxygen diffusion within the fluid.
