Water Treatment Plant in Bangalore
A water treatment plant is a facility designed to treat and purify water from various sources, such as rivers, lakes, or underground wells, in order to make it safe for human consumption and other purposes. The process of water treatment involves removing contaminants, bacteria, viruses, and other impurities from the water to ensure its quality and safety. Chemicals are added to the water to help particles and impurities clump together and form larger particles called floc. he water is allowed to sit in a large tank, known as a sedimentation basin, where the floc settles to the bottom due to gravity, forming sediment.The water passes through different types of filters, such as sand, gravel, and activated carbon, which help remove smaller suspended particles, remaining floc, and some dissolved impurities.To kill any remaining bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, disinfectants such as chlorine, ozone, or ultraviolet light are added to the water.Chemicals may be added to adjust the pH level of the water to a more neutral range, ensuring it is not too acidic or alkaline.Depending on the specific requirements and quality of the source water, additional treatments such as softening (to remove hardness-causing minerals) or advanced filtration processes may be employed.
