Proponents and Research Adviser
This research is about water filtration using a plant based material such as moringa
oleifera seed, musa acuminata peel, and the mixture of the both said plants. The objective
of the study is to used the Morianga oleifera, Musa acuminata and mixture of both plants
to clean a sample water and use it for daily usage, that it can be used as a filter, so the
researchers put one teaspoon (5g) of the treatment per cup to the waste water sample then
observe it with time of 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours.the result show that Banana peel 2hours
have the best result in terms of pH level with average scire of 5.96 while in TDS banana
peel 3hours have the best result with average score if 0.01, and in TSS banana 1 hour have
the best result with average score of 1.However in an over all result malunggay seeds
3hours have the best result in all categories in terms of lowering the alkalinity, low TSS
and TDS value. The researchers found out that the plants can clean the water. For every
hour the sample water shows different result in terms of pH level, TSS, and TDS. After it
takes some test in the laboratory the researchers found out that the water becomes acidic.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study

Nowadays the supply of usable water is running low because of the increasing pollution in
the water resource. As stated by Frankel T.(2015) New NASA data show how the world is
running out of water. More than half of Earth’s 37 largest aquifers are being depleted,
according to gravitational data from the GRACE satellite system. As stated by Brown M.
(2019) 50 million gallons of polluted water pours daily from mine sites across the U.S.,
including Colorado. Everyday gallons of water with a metal substance such as arsenic,
lead, and other toxic metals flows from mining sites that connect to surrounding water
streams and ponds without being treated, they found out that this substance poisons aquatic
life and taint the water supplies. The contaminant is found in solution, such as chemicals,
and synthetic substance like pesticides. These impurities can harm our health and can cause
some minor or/and major diseases thus, the quality of water resources should be evaluated
based on their quality because usable water should not be used unless their quality is
appropriate for the specific use. Usable water is essential for an organism to survive,
especially us humans who have been using water every day to clean, to cook, for energy
supply. The availability of clean usable water is having a problem in terms of harmful
effects on human health. In rural areas, people use water from deep wells and sometimes
in the river, not knowing the effects of the bacteria to the health of the human body such
as skin rashes, dizziness, and even death.
Locals have a difficulty for purifying water because it is expensive and it is not
available in those rural areas, so in this situation there is a need for the researchers to find
alternative supply of water purifier which are malunggay seed powder (Moringa olifera)
that are less expensive and less toxic than aluminum sulfate that can clean the water and it
is always available in rural areas, banana peel can be used for removing impurities and
bacteria from the water because there are substances in banana peels, that can stick to any
toxic materials and remove them from water. Thereby making it safe and clean.
According to Ceniza and Clapanoc(2013). “Moringa oleifera is a pan-tropical
species that is native in the Philippines were all parts are edible and usable and also known
to be a miracle plant because of its many uses, this includes water purification using
powdered seeds”.Other researchers found that using malunggay seeds as a filter showed a
significant difference in chemical and microbiological analysis. According to Ceniza and
Clapano (2017)." In chemical analysis, hardness, total dissolved solids, turbidity, and
acidity increases except for pH and alkalinity. In the microbiological analysis, malunggay
seeds reduced the total number of coliform and heterotrophic bacteria as the concentration
of the powdered seeds increases. In conclusion that malunggay seed is effective in reducing
the number of bacteria presented in the water". Furthermore the study of Subashree R.,
Surya Praba N., Anusha G. (2017). Carbonization method is used to remove the organic
substance from wastewater using lemons and banana peels, the carbonization the method
is found to be more efficient for lemons and banana peels in terms of effects on pH level,
time, adsorbent dosage and particle size. The researchers found that there is no research
about the mixing of malunggay (Moringa oliefera) seeds and banana peel used as a material
for a water filter. So the researchers decided to mix malunggay and banana peel. Therefore
the purpose of the study is to discover how much can plant cleanse the water. It could
contribute information that there are ways to clean dirty water and turn it into clean tap
water for the community. Future researchers can use this study as a basis of information
and further improve the whole research. In addition Wijeyaratne stated that using powdered
leaves of Moringa oleifera could drastically reduce the pollutants in the contaminated river
water, thus cleansing the water. However, the researchers will be using powdered seeds of
Moringa oleifera because it is more likely to clean the substances, especially the river
water.
Statement of the Problems
The researchers aims to solve the problem of clean water supply in the area of Mataas
na Burol Malabag, Silang Cavite due to the lack of water in that area. The researchers need
to find an alternative water supply that can solve the lack of water in that area
1. What will be the effect of the plant-based material to the water sample in terms of
pH level, TSS (Total Suspended Solids), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
2. What is the difference between the first two treatment which is the treatment of
malunggay seed, and the banana, then the mixture of banana and malunggay seed
through the pH level, TSS, and TDS .
Hypotheses
1.) There is no significant difference between the three treatments that is used to
clean the wastewater in terms of TSS, TDS, and pH level test.
2.) There is a significant difference between the three treatment that is used to clean
the wastewater.
Scope and Limitation

The scope of this study is to clean a sample of contaminated river water to be used
as a substitute for tap water when there is a short outcome of tap water. The limit of this
study is to help the locals to use the river in Mataas na Burol, Silang Cavite by gathering a
pail of water and filtering it to be used in a daily usage such as for gardening and laundry.
Significance of the Study
This study will give importance to nature itself, it will potentially give the people
an idea to reuse/relive the polluted river into a natural source of tap water.
• Locals of Mataas na Burol Silang Cavite - the locals will benefit from this
because they can use their own river water again. It can reduce the locals who get
easily sick because of contaminated water.
• The future researches – this can be a ready reference for them when they conduct
a related or similar study.
Definition of Terms
1. Musa acuminata- is the scientific name of banana that can be found in southeast Asia.
2. Moringa oleifera- scientific name of malunggay
3. Zeta potentials- the potential difference existing between the surface of a solid particle
immersed in a conducting liquid
4. pH level- the level of acidity or alkalinity of a substance
5. TSS- Total Suspended Solids
6. TDS- Total Dissolved solids
CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter will show you the review of related literatures significant to the study.
The following scriptures gathered by the researchers will make you understand the study
more.
Related Literature of Moringa oleifera
As stated by Amagloh Z., Benay A. (2009) that the matured dried Moringa Olifera
seeds can use an absorbent of bacteria in contaminated water and the result of that can use
drinking water. The Moringa Oleifera is abundant in the place of Mataas na Burol, Malabag
Silang Cavite so it makes the people around there to find an easy way for an alternative
water filter. Likewise, the study of Nand V., Maata N., Koshy K., Sotheeswaran S. (2012)
That the local seeds of Moringa Olifera can clean heavy metals like chromium, copper,
lead, and zinc. It is a great way to purify the contaminated water to make it safe because it
can remove the heavy metal in the contaminated river. Furthermore based on Jodi M. L.,
Birnin-Yauri U. A., Yahaya Y. and Sokoto M. A. (2012) This study was intended at finding
the effectiveness of powdered seeds of M. olifeira, H. Sabdariffa and C. Tidens as a normal
water treatment agents alternative to use of synthetic chemicals. The obtained results, when
each plant was mixed with alum were much better and it makes the study to find another
way or a more effective way to improve the purification of water in moringa olifera.
Also according to Kulkarni (2017). Humans use water for several purposes but the
purity level of the water being consumed is very critical since it has a direct effect on health.
In the existing study effectiveness, Moringa Oleifera seed extract as a natural water
treatment coagulant was investigated. Highly impure water was collected from a river.
Water samples that were collected were treated with varying concentrations of Moringa.
Water safety is very important in every place so the locals in the Mataas na Burol, Malabag
Silang Cavite use Moringa Olifera to purify the contaminated riverbank water. In addition
Oleifera seed extract: 50 mg/l, 100 mg/l, 150 mg/l, 200 mg/l and 250 mg/l. The water
samples that were collected from the river were analyzed before and after the treatment
with Moringa oleifera seed extracts at the varying concentration for different parameters.
– pH, turbidity, conductivity and total solids – to evaluate the appropriateness and the
efficiency of Moringa Oleifera seed extract in treating highly impure water. Therefore,
Moringa Oleifera seed extract was concluded to act as a natural coagulant for treating
highly impure water. This should be an encouragement for developing countries.
Related Literature of Musa acuminata
As stated by Subashree R., Surya Praba N., Anusha G. (2017). Lemon peels are
more effective than the banana peels in terms of removing impurities from the wastewater.
The carbonization method is found to be more efficient in terms of effects on pH level,
time, adsorbent dosage and particle size. But in this case, the researchers will be using
bananas because it is less expensive for the community and bananas are abundant in the
community besides bananas are still effective for removing pollutants in the contaminated
river water. Bananas are very abundant in every place that is why the bananas are another
source of purifying the river water. In addition Yin, CY. (2010).The study of plant-based
coagulant sources, procedure, efficiency and related coagulating mechanisms for the
treatment of water and wastewater is shown. These coagulants, overall, the use of point-
of-use technology in less-developed communities since they are comparatively cost-
effective compared to chemical coagulants, can be processed easily in a usable form and
biodegradable. The use of banana as a water filter is safe and it is biodegradable and easy
to make.
Related Literature for Water Borne Diseases
As studied by Chan L., Chan M. and Wang J. (2009) The citizens in third world
countries battle waterborne illness every day. Therefore, to have access to safe drinking
water is a luxury. Yet, it is very difficult to devote to a water filter with a low annual
income. An inexpensive water filter can serve as a substitute such that every household can
take advantage of this luxury. The locals in the place of Mataas na Burol, Malabag Silang
Cavite needs an alternate way to purify water because water disease is very common in the
most area with contaminated water. Furthermore the study of Nwabor Oziona Forstinus,
Nnamonuem Manuel Ikechukwu, Martins Paul Emenike and Ani Ogona Christiana (2015)
is that the effort of the government and other agencies in water and its safety, Waterborne
diseases is still a major environmental concern, even though it is worth spending but it has
not shown any expected results and it continues to infect the country and Africa and Asia
is the most affected. The major causes of the water born are the lack of hygienic practices
of the residence and the unavailability of pipe borne water are often contaminated. This
review is focused on waterborne diseases and the different methods of in the bacterial
analysis of water. Water safety is most important in every local that have a water problem
because some locals can't find an alternate way to find water resources or some may not
prevent the water diseases in the contaminated water.
CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study will be using an experimental design. It will require the researchers to
perform tests to gather the data that are needed for the research. Once the data is collected,
it would provide a clear result for the experiment. It also various materials such as the filter
itself, Moringa Oleifera seeds, banana peel, and the contaminated river water sample in
order to measure the data that are needed. And for the tools, the researchers will be using
measuring cups and weighing scale to measure the amount of the materials that would be
used for the research. The t-test will be used for the research because the research will be
used to test the pH level, TSS (Total Suspended Solids), and TSD (Total Dissolved Solids).
Sources of Data
The researchers will be using primary data in the study which will be composed of
the results of the experiment. In addition, secondary data source which will be composed
of journals, articles and other studies that are related to this study.
Research Locale
This study will be conducted in the house of Mr. Bacatan at Mataas na Burol,
Malabag Silang Cavite. based on the source of the water river and plant material that will
be used in this research can be gathered near their house.
Data Gathering
The procedure is divided into two parts. the first step taken is to utilize sample water
from the river of Mataas na Burol, Silang Cavite. the result of the water will be based in
the study. The materials that use by the researchers are the Moringa oleifera seeds and
banana peel. the first thing that needs to do is to get a full grown Moringa oleifera fruit and
get the seed of it that will dry out for 14 days under the sun. for the banana peel, the
researchers will go to the nearest market or houses to get a banana peel.
The second step of the procedure is the experiment itself. after getting all the
materials that in need the researchers will follow the procedure on how to filter using a
plant based material. Each water sample will get a one teaspoon per cup of the dried
malunggay seeds, banana peel, and the mixture of the two, with the time of 1 hour, 2 hours,
and 3 hours. The outcome of this experiment will be compared to the first water sample
that was taken from the river. After gathering all the data, the researcher will analyze and
validate the data.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter is part of the study where the results and the analyzed data of the
experiments. The data are interpreted according to the tables, after the interpretation of the
data the researchers discuss and answer the research questions using the results and table
that are supported by other related studies and articles.

Table 1. pH level, TDS, and TSS average score; Malunggay seeds
Table 1 shows that the pH level of Malunggay shows a significant difference when
it comes to time. Shows that due to time the average score of the pH level decreases or it
becomes more acidic, this is also supported by the Hanna instrument were During
fermentation, the pH should be lower to accommodate the yeast and also to ensure
microbial stability and consistent flavoring of the beer. For the best results, an optimal pH
range during fermentation is between pH 4.1 and 4.3. In the end, fresh beer has a pH of
about 4, dropping as oxidation occurs that shows that the malunggay needs to ferment for
the treatment to be effective to lower the alkalinity of the water samples. Table 1 also shows
that the average score of the Total Dissolved Solids(TDS) that it decreases the weight it
has in terms of time this is also supported by Mr. Brian Oram, PG (2014) Dissolved solids"
refer to any minerals, salts, metals, cations or anions dissolved in water. Total dissolved
solids (TDS) comprise inorganic salts (principally calcium, magnesium, potassium,
sodium, bicarbonates, chlorides, and sulfates) and some small amounts of organic matter
that are dissolved in water. That shows that the malunggay contains one or more of
inorganic salts, namely calcium yet the ratio of the calcium are lessen due to time and also,
table 1 shows that the Total Suspended Solids(TSS) that due to time it decreases the
suspended solids that it contains this can be supported by Rossi, L., Fankhauser R., and
Chevre N. (2012) major potentially harmful substances such as heavy metals, PAHs and
organic matter are adsorbed onto TSS and later settle on sediment. in this study cover the
short-term impact of TSS on fish (acute quality criteria AQC), taking into account the
duration of their exposure in the receiving water.
The concentration-exposure duration-effect curve proposed here thus predicts "ill
effects" on fish for different exposure times and TSS concentrations. Therefore, malunggay
does not contain any heavy metal and due to time in decreases the suspended time of the
malunggay seeds.

Table 2. pH level, TDS, and TSS average score; Banana peels
Table 2 shows that the average score of pH level increases or it becomes more

time of adsorption increases, increasing pH and reached a plateau at pH > 7, which was
confirmed by the variations of zeta potentials. It shows that due to time, the water becomes
more alkaline and also table 2 shows that the average score of Total Dissolved Solids(TDS)
decreases in terms of time this is also supported by Mr. Brian Oram, PG (2014) Dissolved

Table 3 shows that the average pH level of the mixed formula of malunggay seeds
and banana peels shows a significant difference when it comes to time. This shows that the
pH level of the water will decrease or makes it more acidic when the formula is soaked
longer in the water. This is also supported by the Hanna instrument were during
fermentation, the pH should be lower to accommodate the yeast and also to ensure
microbial stability and consistent flavoring of the beer. For the best results, an optimal pH
range during fermentation is between pH 4.1 and 4.3. In the end, fresh beer has a pH of

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
The main purpose of this study is to know if moringa oleifera and banana peel can
be an alternative water filter. The study will answer the following question: What could be
the significant difference between the filtered water with malunggay seeds, banana peel
and mix in terms of their microbiological content. What could be the significant difference
between the filtered water with malunggay seeds, banana peel and mix in terms of their
physical attributes (suspended solids and dissolved solids). The effectiveness of the water
filter in terms of the pH level of the sample water. This study used an experimental design
that has a procedure of 2 parts where the first part is were the researchers collect the sample
water and plant materials for the filter and the second part were the researchers conduct the
experiment and test, during the experiment were they have 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours per
solutions and tests with 3 samples per experiment then the data were gathered and
interpreted and discussed by the researchers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of Malunggay Seeds in wastewater can decrease the pH
Level, TSS, TDS. while the Banana Peel cannot decrease the in terms of pH Level, TSS,
TDS, and the mixture of the malunggay seed and banana peel the pH level of wastewater
but the TDS and TSS did not decrease. This result of the study is based on the data gathered
by the researchers in the experiment, the water became acidic.
The main findings of this research are that the malunggay seed, banana peel and
mixture of banana and malunggay shows a significant difference when it comes to time.
the result shows that the water sample cannot be used for daily usage for the household.
the result came up with the significance of (p>0.05).
Recommendation
The researchers recommend that the locals should use the water as much as possible
when it was filtered. It is also recommended that when filtering the water, it should not be
soaked for a long period of time or else it would produce a foul odor. Since the water is
acidic and has a very bad TDS and TSS it should only be used for household and it should
never come to any contact in the skin. Other researchers can use this data to make a
different study that is related to time when it comes to the difference between TDS and
TSS and pH Level. Also, the researchers recommend that the future researchers to test the
metal content of the water to prove furthermore the effectiveness of the plant materials to
clean the water.
