    The document discusses the various steps involved in water treatment process including pre-treatment, reverse osmosis, and post-treatment.

    The different steps involved in pre-treatment of water are chlorine dosing, multimedia filtration, activated carbon filter, and softener.

    The different filtration processes used in pre-treatment are multimedia filtration which filters up to 20 microns and activated carbon filter which removes chlorine, odor, and color.

    STEPS IN PRETREATMENT OF WTP

    • CHLORINE DOSING
    • MULTIMEDIA FILTERATION (MMF)
    • ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (ACF)
    • SOFTENER
    CHLORINE DOSING

    • Chlorine is one of the most commonly used disinfectants for


    water disinfection.
    • Chlorine can be applied for the deactivation of most micro-
    organisms and it is relatively cheap.
    • Almost 90% of micro-organisms are killed in this process.
    MULTIMEDIA FILTRATION
    • Multi-media water filters typically
    utilize three layers of media for
    multimedia filtration: Pebbles, silex,
    sand. These media are often chosen for
    use in multi media filters due to the
    distinct differences in their densities.
    • 80% volume of vessel is filled with
    three layers of media
    • There are 3 cycles Service, Backwash
    and Rinse.
    • This provides filtration up to 20
    microns.
    ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER

    • Activated carbon filters are


    generally Used for extracting free
    chlorine from water, thereby
    making the water suitable for
    discharge.
    • It also removes odour and colour to
    some extent.
    • There are 3 cycles Service,
    Backwash and Rinse.
    SOFTENER
    • In softener calcium, magnesium
    and certain other salts are
    removed.
    • Water softening is usually
    achieved using ion-exchange
    resins.
    • There are 4 cycles, Service cycle,
    backwash cycle, rinse and
    Regeneration cycle.
    • In this process Ca++ and Mg++
    ions are replaced by Na+ and K+
    ions which reduces the hardness
    levels.
    • Then regeneration process is used
    for recharging of the softeners.
    STEPS IN POST TREATMENT OF WTP

    • Antiscalant dosing.
    • Micron filter.
    • Reverse osmosis.
    • PH dosing.
    • Mixed-bed deionizer.
    • UV filtration.
    ANTISCALANT DOSING

    • Antiscalant dosing is done before RO Treatment, to avoid scale


    formation during RO process.
    • Contaminants causing scale formation are
    1) Calcium carbonate.
    2) Calcium sulphate.
    3) Barium sulphate.
    4) Strontium sulphate.
    5) Calcium fluoride.
    6) other organic and inorganic contaminants.
    MICRON FILTER

    • Micron filter range in filtration from 0.1 to 10 microns.


    • These filters come in two types :
    a) Bag Filters b) Cartridge Filter
    REVERSE OSMOSIS
    • Reverse osmosis is process that uses semi-permeable spiral wound
    membranes to separate and remove dissolved solids.
    • Feed water is delivered under pressure through the semi permeable
    membrane, Where water permeates the minute pores of the
    membrane and delivered as purified water.
    RO Membrane
    MIXED-BED DEIONIZER

    • In mixed-bed deionizers the cation-exchange and anion-exchange


    resins are intimately mixed and contained in a single pressure vessel.
    • The thorough mixture of cation-exchangers and anion-exchangers in
    a single column makes a mixed-bed deionizer equivalent to a
    lengthy series of two-bed plants. As a result, the water quality
    obtained from a mixed-bed deionizer is appreciably higher than that
    produced by a two-bed plant. 
    • Although more efficient in purifying the incoming feedwater,
    mixed-bed plants are more sensitive to impurities in the water
    supply and involve a more complicated regeneration process.
    MIXED-BED DEIONIZER
    Ultraviolet Filtration

    • UV-C rays (photons) penetrate microorganisms and DNA is altered


    in such a way that the pathogen cannot reproduce and is essentially
    killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification
    is called inactivation.
    • UV-C rays will destroy a minimum of 99.99% of harmful
    microorganisms.
