    WATER TREATMENT PLANT

    WATER TREATMENT PLANT


    WHAT IS WATER TREATMENT AND
    ITS COMMON PROCESSES
    Water treatment.
    The water for drinking purpose requires specific and particular properties but raw
    waters have complex compositions and contaminants, hence essential modifications to
    composition and removal of undesirable contaminants are needed to make it drinking
    water. The different water treatment processes are employed according to
    contaminants.

    Common processes for water treatment


    The common processes of water treatment are as under.
    1- Screening and micro-straining
    Removal of floating and large suspended solids from raw water i.e
    leaves, branches etc.
    2- Clarification. i- Coagulation and flocculation ii- sedimentation
    3- Filtration through porous media. (Rapid and slow sand filter)
    Removal of soluble and colloidal organic matter which remain after
    clarification processes.
    4- Disinfection ( Chlorination ) , Biological Oxidation , Chemical treatment
    (ion exchange) , PH, Ca++, Mg++
    CHARACTERISTICS OF RAW WATER

    The raw water have following characteristics/properties.

    1- Physical characteristics.
    Color, taste & odor, turbidity, settle able & suspended solids

    2- Chemical characteristics.
    i- PH. The pH value is concentration of free hydrogen ions
    ii- Hardness. The property of water to prevents lather formation. It
    is mainly due to metallic ions Ca++ ,Mg++ and Fe++
    iii-Dissolved Oxygen ( DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD),
    Nitrification (oxidation of nitrogen)

    3- Biological characteristics
    Living of organisms i.e. Bacteria , viruses, aquatic micro-organisms
    and plants i.e algae, fungi etc
    Train for conventional potable water
    treatment plant.
