Escorted By The Minister Of PUPR Basuki, This Is The Process Of Processing Water At IKN So That It Can Be Directly Drink
JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono oversees the drinking water treatment process in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN). Water in IKN can later be drunk directly from the tap.
Quoted from the official Instagram upload of the Ministry of PUPR @kemenpupr, Basuki continues to monitor the water treatment process in the Sepaku Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM). Spam Sepaku plays an important role in serving water needs in the new capital city.
"We report that the water position has reached the U-13. The report is complete," reads someone via walkie-talkie to Basuki, quoted from Instagram @kemenpupr, Friday, August 9.
In addition, the Ministry of PUPR also explained the drinking water treatment process at IKN. First, the water from the Sepaku River is pumped to the water treatment plant. This process will go through a harmonious unit to increase oxygen dilute in raw water.
Second, water is diverted to a chemical home and mixed with coagulants so that colloidal particles settle. Third, the fine particles that are still left in the water will be filtered through a fast sand filter and then three stages of ozone will be carried out. This process is carried out to oxidize contaminants.
"Which is then absorbed by an active carbon filter. Before heading to the reservoir, the water is accommodated in clearwell and disinfected to protect water from pathogenic bacteria," explained PUPR.
