    This document summarizes various stages of water treatment including clarification, screening, sedimentation, coagulation, and flocculation. Water clarification uses flocculants and coagulants to remove suspended solids and particulate matter. Screening removes objects like rags and metals to prevent damage downstream. Sedimentation allows particles to settle out of suspension under gravity. Coagulation uses chemicals to destabilize colloids while flocculation combines destabilized particles into larger flocs that are more easily removed.

    WATER

    TREATMENT
    CLARIFICATION
    BY: MICHAEL SAM ARADILLOS
    VINCENT VASQUEZ
    Water clarification helps remove
    suspended solids and particulate
    maters- usually with the help of
    flocculants and coagulants

    Water clarification is used in the


    treatment of industrial effluent,
    municipal waste water and municipal
    drinking water as pre-treatment to
    further purification process.
    What is the purpose of water treatment?

    • The goal is to produce water fit for a


    specific purpose. Most water is
    disinfected for human consumption
    (drinking water), but water purification
    may also be designed for a variety of
    other purposes, including fulfilling the
    requirements of medical,
    pharmacological, chemical and
    industrial applications.
    SCREENS
    What is screening in water treatment?

    • Screening is the first unit operation


    used at Waste Water Treatment Plants
    (WWTPs). Screening removes objects
    such as rags, paper, plastics, and
    metals to prevent damage and
    clogging of downstream equipment,
    piping, and appurtenances.
    • Some modern waste water treatment
    plants use both coarse screens and
    What is sedimentation in water treatment?

    - Sedimentation is the process of allowing


    particles in suspension in water to settle out
    of the suspension under the effect of gravity.
    COAGULATION AND
    FLOCCULATION

    - consist of adding floc-forming chemical reagent to a


    water to enmesh or combine with non-settleable
    colloidal solids and slow-setting suspended solids to
    produce a rapid-settlIing floc.
    - The floc is subsequently removed in most cases by
    sedimentation.
    - The removal of colloidal substances from water. To
    meet potable water requirements, health, aesthetics
    and economic.
    COAGULATION
    - It is the destabilization of colloids by addition
    of chemicals that neutralize the negative
    charges by rapid mixing.
    - The chemical used are known to be
    coagulants, usually higher valence cationic
    salts.
    - Coagulation is essentially a chemical
    process
    - Chemicals reduce colloidal surface charge and form
    precipitates that enhance the clustering process and
    sedimentation.
    - Most naturally occurring particles in water are
    negatively charged. Since like charges repel, these
    small particles, or colloids, will remain suspended
    almost indefinitely.
    FLOCCULATION
    - It is agglomeration of destabilized particles into a
    large size particle known as flocs which can be
    effectively removed by sendimentation of floatation.

    - The water enter a small tank or section of a tank in


    which paddles are turning slowly. Their movement
    causes the small particles to collide and stick together
    (fast or vigorous mixing would separate combined
    particles
    - The gentle mixing combined with the reduction in
    repulsive surface charges allow the particles to join
    rapidly.
    - Doubling the particle diameter increases its setting
    velocity by a factor of 4.

    - In the flocculation, the fine micro floc begins to


    agglomerate into larger floc particles
