Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Inaugurates Prototype of CPPBT-PT 2018 Clean Water Treatment Product

Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Menristekdikti) Prof. Mohamad Nasir accompanied by the Rector of Semarang State University (UNNES) Prof. Fathur Rokhman inaugurated the product prototype of the Technology-Based Startup Company Candidate (CPPBT) Clean Water Management Deep Well Installation (deep well) based on gamma-ray well logging sensor technology and water treatment suitable for consumption of reverse osmosis alkaline (ROA) in Bulusan Village, Tembalang District, Semarang, Saturday (22/9).

The Institute for Research and Community Service (LP2M) UNNES is trusted to carry out this task through the CPPBT program.

Prof. Nasir said that water from the ground will be directly treated with Reverse Osmosis Alkaline (ROA) technology. The water produced will have a higher pH than ordinary mineral water, close to pH 9. The pH level is a measure to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. In ordinary bottled water, the pH level is between 4 and 6, while alkaline water of CPPBT products has a pH of 8.3, so it will be easier for the body to absorb.

“This water can not only be used for boiling or bathing but can also be drunk directly because it is by SNI and Permenkes,” added Prof. Nasir.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive of the CPPBT LPPM UNNES program, Dr. Suwito Eko Pramono MPd, also said that technology will only run well if there is someone to manage it. This is the Minister’s idea, then entrusted to LP2M, so in the future, we need to manage it together to remain useful.
