CHAPTER 4 - Result and Analysis

This chapter presents results and analysis from experiments conducted on wastewater samples. Water quality parameters such as pH, DO, BOD5, TSS, COD, and ammonia were tested and their values reported. The water quality index was calculated to be 55.02 based on these parameters, classifying the water quality as Class III, meaning it is slightly polluted according to national standards. In Chapter 5, this classification is discussed further, noting the water would need extensive treatment to be suitable for uses like water supply.

Water Quality Index (WQI)


WQI = 0.22(SIDO) + 0.19(SIBOD) + 0.16(SICOD) + 0.15(SIAN) + 0.16(SISS) + 0.12(SIpH)

pH = 5.9
for 5.5 ≤ x < 7
SIpH = -242 + 95.5 x – 6.67 x²
= -242 + 95.5 (5.9) – 6.67(5.9)²
= 89.27
DO = 6.9 at 25℃ (convert to percent)
for 8% < x < 92%
SiDO = -0.395 + 0.03 x² -
0.00020 x³
= -0.395 + 0.03 (83)² - 0.00020 (83)³
= 91.92

BOD5 = 75mg/L
for x > 5
SIBOD = 108 e -0.055x – 0.1 x
= 108 e -0.055(75) – 0.1 (75)
= -5.75

TSS = 55mg/L
for x ≤ 100
SISS = 97.5 e -0.00676x + 0.05 x

= 97.5 e -0.00676 (55) + 0.05(55)


= 69.98

COD = 82 mg/L
for x > 20
SICOD = 103 e -0.0157x – 0.04 x

= 103 e -0.0157x – 0.04 x


= 25.15
Ammonia = 0.41mg/L
for 0.3 < x < 4
SIAN = 94 e -0.573x – 5 | x – 2 |
= 94 e -0.573 (0.41) – 5 | (0.41) – 2 |
= 66.37

Water Quality Index (WQI)


WQI = 0.22(91.92) + 0.19(-5.75) + 0.16(25.15) + 0.15(66.37) + 0.16(69.98) + 0.12(89.27)
WQI = 55.02 – class III
CHAPTER 5

DISCUSSION

Water quality data were used to determine the water quality status in clean, slightly polluted, and
polluted category. The classification based on Interim National Water Quality Standards
(INWQS) starts with class I until class V with water quality index (WQI) more than 92.7 for
Class I, from 76.5 until 92.7 for Class II, from 51.9 until 76.5 for Class III, from 31.0 until 51.9
for Class IV and Class V is less than 31.0. From the result obtained in the chapter 4, the water is
55.02 classified as Class III that suitable for Water Supply III or Fishery III. Wastewater from
Tasek G3 is qualified as polluted because 55.02 is within the range of 0 until 59. Water Supply
III need extensive treatment due to the
