OVERVIEW
  WATER TREATMENT IS THE PROCESS OF
REMOVING CONTAMINANTS FROM
WASTEWATER AND HOUSEHOLD WATER .
 IT INCLUDES PHYSICAL,CHEMICAL,AND
BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES TO REMOVE
INTRODUCTION PHYSICAL ,CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL
CONTAMINANTS.
IT OBJECTIVE IS TO PRODUCE AN
ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE FIUID WASTE
STREAM AND A SOLID WASTE SUITABLE FOR
DISPOSAL

SCREENING IS DONE TO CARRY OUT THE REMOVE

WHAT IS SCREENING IS GENERALLY ADOPTED FOR THE
SCREENING? TREATMENT OF SURFACE WATER.
SCREENING IS DONE WITH THE HELP OF …………….
 COARSE SCREEN
 FINE SCREEN
 7

COARSE SCREEN
These are made of corrosion-
resistant steel bars spaced 5–15
cm apart, which are used to
exclude coarse materials (such
as logs and fish) from entering the
treatment plant. The screens are
positioned at an angle of 60º to
facilitate removing the collected
material by mechanical method
of raking.
 8
FINE SCREEN
It come after the coarse screens, keep out
material that can block pipework at the
plant. They consist of steel bars that are
spaced 5–20 mm apart. A variation of the
fine screen is the micro strainer, consisting of
a rotating drum of stainless steel mesh with a
very small mesh size (ranging from 15 µm to
64 µm).
Suspended matter as small as algae and
plankton (microscopic organisms that float
with the current in water) can be trapped.
The trapped solids are dislodged from the
fabric by high-pressure water jets using
clean water and carried away for disposal.

AERATION
After screening, the water
is aerated (supplied with
air) by passing it over a
series of steps to take in
oxygen from the air. This
process helps in expelling
soluble gases such as
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen sulfide (both of
which are acidic, so this
process makes the water
less corrosive) and expels
any gaseous organic
compounds an undesirable
taste to the water.

COAGULATION AND FLOCCULATION

After aeration, coagulation
occurs to remove the fine
particles (less than 1 µm in
size) suspended in the water.
In this process, a coagulant is
added to the water, which
neutralizes the fine particles'
negative electrical charge.
The coagulant's addition
takes place in a rapid mix
tank where a high-speed Coagulation–Flocculation Process
impeller rapidly disperses the
coagulant.
 11

SEDIMENTATION
Once large flocs are formed,
they need to be settled out, and
this takes place in a
process called sedimentation.
The water (after coagulation
and flocculation) is kept in the
tank for several hours for
sedimentation to take place.
The material accumulated at
the bottom of the tank is called
sludge; this is removed for
disposal.
 12

FILTRATION
 Filtration is the process where
solids are separated from a
liquid. In water treatment, the
solids are removed by passing
the water through sand and
gravel beds.
 When the filters are full of
trapped solids, they are back-
washed. In this process, clean
water and air are pumped back
up the filter to dislodge the
trapped impurities, and the
water carrying the dirt is pumped
into the sewerage system.
 13

DISNFECTION
 After the water has been
filtered, water treatment plants
may add one or more chemical
disinfectants (such as chlorine or
chlorine dioxide) to kill any
remaining parasites, bacteria, or
viruses. To help keep water safe
as it travels to homes and
businesses, water treatment
plants will make sure the water
has low levels of the chemical
disinfectant when it leaves the
treatment plant.
 14

SOFTENING
 Water softening is a
process in which the ions
of calcium, magnesium
and sometimes iron are
removed. It is these ions in
hard water that make it
difficult for products with
other positively charged
ions to dissolve in the
water. By doing this, the
water softening removes
the offending minerals
from the water.

(NaCl) in water (H2O)
