The simultaneous of electroflotation and biocoagulation performance using mung bean flour (Vigna radiata) with 250 mesh as a natural coagulant on the treatment of peat water has been carried out. The electroflotation was carried out using graphite as anode and stainless steel as a cathode electrode with a DC constant voltage of 20 V for 30 mins operation. The mung bean in the doses of 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/500 mL was used to treat the peat water. The effectiveness of the simultaneous of electrofotation and biocoagulation was in term of turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and pH. Initially, the peat water sample had the parameters as much as 224.3 NTU, 1076 mg/L, and 2.7 respectively for turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and pH. The results showed that the simultaneous of electroflotation and biocoagulation (EB) process had decreased those parameters as much as 84.5%, 70.2%, and changes the pH to be 6.8.
