Water is extremely important in everyone's life. Water is required not only by living things, but also by non-living things. Every day, our industries use tons of water for production and other processes.
Have you ever wondered what happens to sewage released from a home or a heavy industry? Most of it ends up as waste, which is harmful to the environment, rivers, and surroundings, because industry water contains a high concentration of hazardous chemicals. However, after water treatment, such water can be reused.
What is a water treatment plant?
A water treatment plant is a location to which wastewater (water that is no longer fit for its current purpose), is directed after it exits homes and businesses via sewage pipes. The sewage system consists of miles of underground pipes, which transport wastewater to a treatment plant for processing.
Water treatment procedures
· Coagulation
Coagulation is frequently used as the first step in water treatment. During coagulation, positively charged chemicals are added to the water. Water's positive charge cancels out the negative charge of dirt, and other dissolved particles.
The particles bind with the chemicals as a result, resulting in slightly larger particles. In this step, specific salts, aluminium, or iron are commonly used.
· Flocculation
Coagulation is followed by flocculation. Flocculation is the gentle mixing of water that results in the formation of larger, heavier particles known as flocs. During this step, water treatment plants will frequently add additional chemicals, to aid in the formation of flocs.
· Sedimentation
Sedimentation is one of the processes used by water treatment plants, to separate solids from water. Because, flocs are heavier than water, they settle to the bottom of the water during sedimentation.
· Filtration
Once the flocs have settled to the bottom of the water, the clear water on top is filtered to eliminate any remaining solids. Clear water is filtered through filters with varying pore sizes and materials, during the filtration process such as sand, gravel, and charcoal. These filters eliminate dissolved particles and germs, such as dust, chemicals, parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Odours are also eliminated by activated carbon filters.
In addition to or instead of traditional filtration, water treatment plants can use ultrafiltration. Water passes through a filter membrane with very small pores during ultrafiltration. This filter only allows water and other small molecules through (such as salts and tiny, charged molecules).
Another filtration method that eliminates additional particles from water is reverse osmosis. When treating recycled water external icon (also known as reused water), or salt water for drinking, water treatment plants frequently use reverse osmosis.
· Disinfection
Water treatment plants may add one or more chemical disinfectants (such as chlorine, chloramine, or chlorine dioxide), after the water has been filtered to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, or viruses.
Water treatment plants will ensure that the water has low levels of the chemical disinfectant, when it leaves the treatment plant to help keep water safe as it travels to homes and businesses.
