Water treatment plants are facilities or installations designed to treat and purify raw water from various sources, such as rivers, lakes, wells, or reservoirs, to make it safe for human consumption, industrial use, or environmental discharge. These plants are crucial in ensuring that water is free from contaminants, pathogens, and impurities. Water treatment processes may vary based on the source water quality and the intended use of the treated water. Here are some of the key components and processes commonly found in water treatment plants:
-
Intake: Raw water is collected from the water source and directed to the treatment plant through an intake structure or system. This can involve screens to remove large debris.
-
Coagulation and Flocculation: In this process, chemicals known as coagulants (typically aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride) are added to the water to destabilize and clump together fine particles and colloids. After coagulation, flocculants (polymer chemicals) are added to promote the formation of larger particles called flocs.
-
Sedimentation: The water is allowed to sit in a sedimentation basin
