Water Treatment Plant
is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may
be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being
safely returned to the environment. Water treatment removes contaminants and undesirable components, or reduces their concentration so that the water becomes fit for its desired end-use. This treatment is crucial to human health and allows humans to benefit from both drinking and irrigation use.
The methods of water treatment include physical treatment and chemical treatment. The physical method includes the use of various filter materials with different pore sizes, and the impurities in the water are excluded by adsorption or blocking. The most important adsorption method is adsorption by activated carbon, and the blocking method is to pass water through the filter material to make the volume. Larger impurities cannot pass, resulting in cleaner water. The chemical method uses various chemicals to convert impurities in water into substances that are less harmful to the human body, or concentrates impurities. After the impurities in the water are collected, the volume becomes larger, and the impurities can be removed by filtration.
