A Comprehensive Guide to Drinking Water Treatment Techniques
Introduction: Water treatment transforms raw surface water and groundwater sources into safe drinking water treatment that is free of bacteria, protozoan parasites, and other contaminants. Water treatment involves several steps including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. The primary goal of water disinfection is to eliminate or inactivate the microorganisms that cause diseases. Filtration Filtration is a technique for the removal of contaminants from water. It can be done using a variety of techniques. Some filters use a combination of chemical and physical methods to remove particles from a fluid. This includes filtration, adsorption and kinetic degradation fluxion (KDF). Other filter systems use a combination of physical and biological methods to remove contaminants. These include ion exchange, sedimentation and biofiltration. Ion exchange uses a chemical reaction to remove ions from a liquid. The ion exchange resin is us...
