Abstract
A real-time monitoring of heavy metals in water environment is crucial nowadays
because it is the biggest contributor to water pollution and leads to many diseases to
humans. In contrast with organic pollutants, heavy metals cannot be biologically or
chemically degraded at all, and thus may either accumulate locally or be transported over
long distances. The wastewater discharge from Batik industries became a significant
issue on the sustainability of the environment for the next generation. Heavy metal that
exist in wastewater is an extremely dangerous pollutants to ecosystem and toxic to human
health. The industry faces difficulty to monitor the waste discharge because the usual
practice for analyses heavy metal work in central laboratories causes delay time and
contamination of sample during transportation to central of laboratories leads to
inaccuracy in data monitoring of heavy metals in water environment. This study proposes
the development of instrument device to real-time monitoring heavy metal using an
electroanalytical technique. This project introduced mathematical algorithm to represent
the existing metal concentration in the solution based on statistical analysis from the data
collection using laboratory control sample. In order to ensure the result more robust, the
others significant parameter such as temperature and pH were considered during
mathematical formulation development. For field work application, the effect of
viscosity, pressure drop and condition of pipe for steady flow. The flow changes affect
the measurement sensor reading due to the turbulent flow. However, the flow change
inside pipe network can change the physical disturbance that can lead to inaccuracy of
data measurement.
