Intake and Screening:
Water Intake: Water is drawn from surface sources like rivers, lakes, or reservoirs. The intake structure is designed to minimize the entry of large debris and aquatic organisms.
Screening: The raw water passes through screens to remove large particles, debris, and aquatic life, protecting the treatment equipment from damage and clogging.
Coagulation and Flocculation:
Coagulation: Chemicals, known as coagulants (e.g., aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride), are added to the water to destabilize suspended particles. These particles, which are typically too small to settle out on their own, begin to clump together.
Flocculation: The water is then gently stirred in flocculation tanks, allowing the small particles to aggregate into larger clusters called flocs. This process improves the efficiency of subsequent sedimentation and filtration steps.
Sedimentation:
Clarification: In sedimentation tanks, the water is allowed to sit undisturbed, enabling the heavier flocs to settle to the bottom as sludge. This process removes a significant portion of the suspended solids from the water.
Sludge Removal: The settled sludge is periodically removed from the bottom of the tanks for further treatment or disposal.
Filtration:
Media Filtration: The clarified water passes through filters composed of layers of sand, gravel, and sometimes activated carbon. These filters remove any remaining suspended solids, as well as some dissolved contaminants. The choice of filter media depends on the specific water quality and treatment requirements.
Membrane Filtration: In some cases, advanced membrane filtration techniques like microfiltration or ultrafiltration are used to remove smaller particles and pathogens, providing an additional level of purification.
Disinfection:
Chemical Disinfection: Disinfectants such as chlorine, chloramine, or chlorine dioxide are added to the filtered water to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. This step ensures that the water is safe for human consumption.
UV Disinfection: Ultraviolet (UV) light can also be used as a physical method of disinfection. UV systems inactivate microorganisms by damaging their DNA, preventing them from reproducing and causing harm.
Post-Treatment:
pH Adjustment: The pH of the treated water is adjusted, if necessary, to ensure it is stable and non-corrosive, preventing damage to pipes and infrastructure.
Corrosion Inhibitors: In some systems, corrosion inhibitors are added to protect distribution pipes and prevent the leaching of metals like lead and copper into the water.
Fluoridation: In some cases, fluoride is added to the treated water to help prevent tooth decay, following public health guidelines.
