Sedimentation
• A mechanical or
physical operation
which is used for the
separation of solids from
fluids by interposing a
medium through which
only the fluid can pass.
• Used after
sedimentation to further
reduce turbidity and
remove pathogens

Disinfection
Boiling
• A method of water
treatment by
heating water to its
boiling point then
collecting the water
vapor as it
condenses
Solar Distillation
• A method of
disinfection using
short wave UV
radiation (200-
