 INTRODUCTION
 Looking At Water, You Might Think That It ’s
The Most Simple Thing Around.
 Pure Water Is Colorless, Odorless, And
Tasteless.
 But It's Not At All Simple And Plain And
It Is
Vital For All Life On Earth.
 Where There Is Water There Is Life, And
Where Water Is Scarce, Life Has To Struggle
Or Just "Throw In The Towel."
 Water Is Of Major Importance To All Living
Things.
 Therefore The Quality Of Water Wedrink
Is Very Important.

 The Drinking Water Should Be Totally

Clean, Pure And Free Of Any Disease
Causing Microbes, And That’s Why It
Should Be Properly Treated And
Disinfected Before Using It For Drinking
Purpose

 Up To 60 Percent Of The Human Body Is

Water.

STAGES
1. Screening
2. Aeration
3. PH Correction
4. Coagulation And Flocculation
5. Sedimentation
6. Pre-chlorination And Dechlorination
7. Filtration
8. Disinfection
9. PH Adjustment
 STAGES

1. Screening –
Removal Of
Any Coarse Floating Objects, Weeds, Etc.

2. Aeration –
Dissolving Oxygen Into The Water
• Removes Smell And Taste
• Promotes Helpful Bacteria Growth
• Precipitates Nuisance Metals Like Iron And
Manganese.

3. Ph Correction -
Preparing For Coagulation And To Help Precipitate Metals.
(Remember How Acid Rain Leaches Metals Out Of Soil?-
Make Water Acidic To Leach Out Metals)
4. Coagulation And-Flocculation -

- Add Coagulating Agent (Aluminum Sulfate

Or Iron Sulfate)
- Causes Agglomeration (Clumping) And
Sedimentation Of Solid Particles
- These Solid Particles Are Called Floc Or
Sludge
5. Sedimentation –
- Floc Settles Out And Is Scraped And Vacuumed Off The
Bottom Of Large Sedimentation Tanks.
- Clarified Water Drains Out Of The Top Of These Tanks In A
Giant Decanting Process

6. Pre-chlorination And Dechlorination

- Mostly To Kill
Algae That Would Otherwise Grow And Clog The Water
Filters. Also Kills Much Of The
 7.FILTRATION
Depend On Size Of Plant/Volume Of Water
Considerations

• Rapid-sand Filters Force Water Through A 0.45-

1m Layer Of Sand And Work Faster, Needing A
Smaller Area. But They Need Frequent Back-
washing
• Slow-sand Filters Require A Much Larger Area But
Reduce Bacteriological And Viral Levels To Better
Due To The Schmutzdecke (Biofilm) Layer. The Top
1 Inch Of Biofilm Must Be Periodically Scraped Off
And The Filter Occasionally Back-washed
8. Disinfection –
Water Completely Free Of Suspended Sediment Is Treated
With A Powerful Oxidizing Agent Usually One Of Three
Types:
• Chlorine
• Chloramine (Chlorine Then Ammonia)
• Ozone- More Expensive
• Uv-light

9. Ph Adjustment –

So That Treated Water Leaves The Plant In The

Desired Range Of
6.5 To 8.5 Ph Units.
COMPLETE CYCLE
OF WATER TREATMENT: COAGULATION

STORAGE
SEDIMENTATION
DISINFECTION
FILTRATION
 CONCLUSION

• Water Is Source Of All Living Organism

• Today We Have Lot Of Disease Because, Intake Of Bad Water.
• As A Chemist We Learn Water Treatment Process Steps And
Prepare An Advance Level On This Method.
• Always
“Good Water Serves Good Health”
