Water Treatment technology

What is water treatment technology

Water treatment technology, a term to describe the processes that take place to make water after treatment fit for a specific purpose. This includes its use as drinking water, as well as for industrial, medical, and other uses.

In general, the main purpose of water treatment is to remove or reduce any plankton or pollutants so that this water becomes suitable for the purpose for which it is used.

Treatment processes differ according to the purpose of using the water. For example, drinking water focuses a lot on purifying water from impurities, suspended materials, and resetting the amount of mineral salts, or total dissolved materials.

Drinking water treatment technology processes
The following processes represent a simplification of drinking water treatment processes used worldwide:

Pre-chlorine injection process to reduce algal blooms.
Ventilation with chlorine injection to break up dissolved iron and manganese (oxidation) and then remove them.
Coagulation or coagulation to collect suspended matter.
sedimentation to separate materials
