The goal of water treatment is to remove contaminants, pollutants, and microorganisms from water and achieve the desired quality standards.
The water treatment process involves various steps and technologies that can vary depending on the specific requirements and the quality of the raw water.
Commonly used methods and technologies include:
- Filtration: Removing suspended particles and impurities from water through physical barriers.
- Disinfection: Eliminating harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses, typically using chlorine, UV light, or ozone.
- Distillation: A thermal process where water is heated to produce steam, which is then condensed to remove impurities, ensuring high purity water.
