Semarang (30/8) – Department of Environmental Engineering of Diponegoro University. The real contribution of the application to educational progress is one of the alumni grants. With the granting of alumni grants it is expected to be one of the things that support teaching and research activities. On Tuesday, August 29, 2023 was received a grant of electro-coagulation tool from the Director of PT Ecoatec Patirtan Esa Cipta who is an alumni of Undip Environmental Engineering namely Rachmad Ardhianto, S.T., M.T. to the Department of Environment Engineering.
In addition to the delivery of electro-coagulation devices, Rachmad Ardhianto, S.T., M.T. gave general lectures related to the application and innovation of the electro coagulation device for the treatment of wastewater that can be produced from industrial and household activities in the surrounding environment. It is worth noting that electro-coagulation is an innovative process tool that uses electric currents to remove pollutants from wastewater such as heavy metals and organic materials. The general lectures were conducted in a hybrid manner attended by students of Environmental Engineering at Diponegoro University and the general public. During the activities, students with great enthusiasm and passion to learn the innovations made by Rachmad Ardhianto, S.T., M.T. to manage wastewater well.
After the general lecture, then proceeded the tool demo to show the performance of the electro-coagulation device. This is an opportunity to process the waste water that has been prepared and then become clear water that can be disposed of by name to the environment. His hope with the grant of this tool, helps support the development of new technologies and innovative solutions to environmental challenges and opens up insights to students related to the sustainable treatment of wastewater.
