OPTIMALISASI PENGGUNAAN FOTOBIOREAKTOR MIKROALGA SEBAGAI BIO AIR PURIFIER UNTUK MENGURANGI KADAR KARBON DIOKSIDA (CO2) DALAM RUANGAN
Increased carbon dioxide concentrations in enclosed spaces can potentially reduce air quality and disrupt the health of occupants. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Chlorella sp microalgae photobioreactors as biological air purifiers and determine the optimal point for physical environmental variables. This study uses a pre-experimental method through a repeated measure design. Data collection took place over seven days in a 17.82 square meter domestic living space. Researchers measured pollutant levels along with air temperature, humidity, and light intensity in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Data analysis used repeated measures ANOVA and polynomial regression tests. The results of the study prove that microalgae photobioreactors effectively reduce carbon dioxide concentrations continuously. The most optimal absorption performance occurred during the afternoon period and left the lowest pollutant level at 679 ppm. Air temperature had a weak effect on the performance of the device with an optimal range of 29.8 oC - 30.6 oC. Air humidity has a moderate effect with an optimal range of 80.7% Rh - 81.4% Rh. Light intensity has a significant effect as a source of photosynthetic energy with an optimal range of 3648 Lux - 3766 Lux.
