Abstract

Abstrak  Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan akses masyarakat Muara Enggelam terhadap air layak konsumsi melalui pendampingan implementasi teknologi pengolahan air gambut berbasis karakterisasi laboratorium. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Research dengan empat tahapan: sosialisasi, pelatihan, implementasi teknologi, dan monitoring dampak. Teknologi yang dikembangkan mengintegrasikan koagulasi-flokulasi (tawas 15–30 mg/L), netralisasi pH (KOH), sedimentasi, aerasi menara, filtrasi bertingkat (pasir–kerikil–silika–resin penukar ion IRA-958), dan disinfeksi UV. Hasil menunjukkan penurunan signifikan parameter kualitas air: kekeruhan dari 21,8–65,9 menjadi 0,93 NTU (<3 baku mutu), besi (Fe) dari 0,2–0,4 menjadi 0,07 mg/L (<0,2 mg/L), dan mangan (Mn) <0,02 menjadi 0,02 mg/L (<0,1 mg/L). Meskipun pH air olahan masih asam (4,84), teknologi ini telah memenuhi sebagian besar parameter Permenkes No. 2 Tahun 2023. Survei menunjukkan 85% masyarakat bersedia membayar Rp50.000–150.000/bulan/KK untuk akses air olahan, dan BUMDes berkomitmen mengelola unit secara berkelanjutan. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi pada SDG 6 (Air Bersih dan Sanitasi Layak) melalui pendekatan berbasis bukti, partisipatif, dan replikabel untuk wilayah gambut lainnya.  Kata kunci: air gambut, teknologi tepat guna, pemberdayaan masyarakat, keberlanjutan, Muara Enggelam Abstract               This community service activity aims to improve access to safe drinking water for the Muara Enggelam community through the implementation of peat water treatment technology based on laboratory characterization. The method used is Participatory Action Research with four stages: socialization, training, technology implementation, and impact monitoring. The developed technology integrates coagulation-flocculation (alum 15–30 mg/L), pH neutralization (KOH), sedimentation, tower aeration, multi-stage filtration (sand–gravel–silica–ion exchange resin IRA-958), and UV disinfection. Results showed significant improvement in water quality parameters: turbidity decreased from 21.8–65.9 to 0.93 NTU (<3 standard), iron (Fe) from 0.2–0.4 to 0.07 mg/L (<0.2 mg/L), and manganese (Mn) from <0.02 to 0.02 mg/L (<0.1 mg/L). Although treated water pH remained acidic (4.84), the technology met most parameters of Minister of Health Regulation No. 2/2023. Survey results indicated 85% of households were willing to pay Rp50,000–150,000/month for treated water, and the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) committed to sustainable management. This activity contributes to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) through an evidence-based, participatory, and replicable approach for other peatland areas.                 Keywords: peat water, appropriate technology, community empowerment, sustainability, Muara Enggelam

Abstract

Peat water is an abundant raw water source in tropical peatlands; however, its use for drinking water is constrained by its acidic pH, high colour, elevated levels of natural organic matter (NOM), and microbial contamination, all of which increase the risk of carcinogenic disinfection byproducts when chlorinated. In Muara Enggelam Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, communities rely heavily on peat water and incur high costs to obtain clean water from neighbouring areas. This study aimed to design a laboratory-validated hybrid water treatment system capable of producing potable water from peat sources in remote communities. Water samples were collected from upstream, downstream, and an existing community treatment unit and analysed for physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. Raw peat water exhibited acidic pH (5.11–5.66), high colour (176–235 TCU), turbidity (21.8–85.9 NTU), elevated iron concentrations (0.2–0.4 mg/L), and severe microbial contamination. The existing community system effectively reduced turbidity and iron, but further reduced pH, leaving residual colour and detectable bacteria. Based on laboratory results and process evaluation, a four-stage hybrid system is proposed, consisting of pH neutralisation with quicklime, controlled coagulation–flocculation, multistage filtration using quartz sand, activated carbon, and ion-exchange resin, followed by ultraviolet disinfection to prevent disinfection byproduct formation. System sustainability is supported through a village-owned enterprise management model and community willingness to pay of IDR 50,000–150,000 per month. The proposed system demonstrates that peat water can be transformed into a safe, resilient drinking water source for remote tropical communities through an integrated technical and institutional approach.
