Our daily use of tap water involves a variety of filtering, the removal of big particles from the water, and sterilisation or disinfection techniques. The water treatment plant tests the water to ensure it complies with national standards before discharging it, to each household via a huge network of pipes and pressurised reservoirs.
Before the water is discharged to each residence, the water pipeline must pass through a complex, which may result in some water pipelines being broken and left unrepaired. As a result, a small portion of the water pipeline and some sewage pipes may intersect, causing tap water to become contaminated. Therefore, to treat a huge amount of wastewater in India, there has been a rise in the requirements of water and wastewater treatment plants.
Problems with water pipelines
Due to the water pipeline's frequent breaking, infiltration, and pressurised reservoir sterilisation, there is a lot of dirt under the reservoir after a long period of sedimentation, and the water pipeline develops rust, among other things.
Through professional sector examination, some of them are discovered, including: rust, lead, and phenol, which leads to bacteria that are dangerous to human health, and residual pesticides.
Why is the requirement for more water treatment plants in India?
It's astonishing how polluted the world is. It can result in stomach and intestinal stones, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and many other symptoms if used and ingested frequently.
We typically believe that boiling tap water makes it safe to drink. However, boiling water does not necessarily eliminate contaminants like rust, lead, and phenol, which can be caused by harmful microorganisms and residual pesticides. As a result, the water we have been using and drinking for a long time is very unclean.
Simply said, water treatment plants remove hazardous chemicals and various other contaminants from the water, through a variety of physical and chemical techniques. Due to the intimate connection between social production, life, and water, the field of water treatment encompasses a wide range of applications, making up a significant portion of industrial applications.
Various types of water treatment plants
There are currently a wide variety of water treatment products available on the market, including reverse osmosis pure water equipment or RO Plants, EDI/mixed bed ultrapure water equipment, ion exchange pure water equipment, ultrafiltration equipment, water softening desalination equipment, seawater desalination equipment, water reuse equipment, wastewater reuse equipment, precision filtration equipment, water treatment equipment accessories, etc.
RO Plants for water treatment
RO systems are a type of water treatment equipment that have only recently entered the market. Despite this, consumers have been praising their appearance, particularly water dispenser users who no longer have to pay for and carry around bulky water barrels.
The main distinction between a drinking water bottle and RO Plants is that the former uses a barrel of water that has been purchased from somewhere else, whilst the latter is immediately linked to a tap in your home or office and produces its own pure water.
Reverse osmosis technique, using imported reverse osmosis membrane, is used in all over India for water purification. This technology has been used extensively in a variety of high-tech industries, including medicine (such as kidney disease haemodialysis), electronics, spaceflight (astronaut body fluid circulation), seawater desalination, and others. In recent years, this technology has been developed for use at home in the form of private water purification equipment or water purifiers.
Contaminants removed by RO Plants
The reverse osmosis membrane and water molecules pass past each other under pressure, whereas the majority of inorganic salts including heavy metals, organic debris, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms are trapped by the membrane.
The membrane's pores are only 0.0001 microns wide, while the virus's diameter is much larger. You can confidently consume pure water since reverse osmosis membrane pores are only 0.0001 microns in size, while typical virus diameters range from 0.02-0.4 microns to 0.4-1 microns.
In addition to impurities, rust, sediment, colloid, bacteria, and viruses, a RO system can also remove harmful radioactive particles, organic matter, fluorescent matter, pesticides, and unpleasant water alkali, while protecting the family's health.
Water softeners for treatment of water
Although, the water softener has only recently entered the market, many users adore it. Ion exchange water softeners can soften water, totally remove calcium and magnesium ions, and, the entire family can accomplish the objective of softening water.
When a water softener is functioning properly, sodium ions are used to move calcium and magnesium ion-containing water through the resin. Calcium and magnesium ions replace sodium ions and become adsorbed on the resin, causing sodium ion-containing water to exit the softener and turn into "soft water" and become insoluble. At this point, the resin's surface can no longer be exchanged.
A diluted solution of non-iodized salt and water is used to regenerate the water softener resin. Water cups, teapots, baths, and buckets are less likely to accumulate lime-scale and are simpler to clean when using soft water.
Your home's water pipes no longer accumulate lime-scale, the water heater has a longer lifespan, and the flow of hot water doesn't gradually decrease over time due to prolonged use.
When compared to washing in hard water, using soft water can extend the life of clothing by 32% while using less detergent, soap, and other detergent supplies. Additionally, colours are more vibrant, white shirts stay whiter after washing, blue shirts stay bluer, and colours are less likely to fade.
Types of water softeners
According on how controllers are used, water softeners can be categorised as time type, flow type, or split type. The controllers utilised can be classified into manual type (semi-automatic), and fully automatic type depending on their level of automation.
Conclusion
Other industries besides those that treat drinking water use water treatment equipment as well, including those that produce chemicals, electronic semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, glass, electroplate, electronics, fine chemicals, ultrapure water treatment equipment, factory drinking water equipment, food and beverage, paper, printing and dyeing textiles, municipal environmental protection, and others.
