Surface Water Treatment Plant

Surface water undergoes many processes before it reaches a consumer’s tap. When water enters a treatment plant, the first step is coagulation, the rapid mixing of coagulants such as aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride and organic polymers into the water.

Two processes are commonly used to treat surface water: – Conventional treatment including clarification (coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation or dissolved air flotation), sand filtration, activated carbon adsorption and disinfection. – Advanced treatment based on ultrafiltration technology.
