Water Treatment

What are 3 methods of water treatment?

1. Conventional filtration employs mechanical filtration (such as a filter cartridge or sand), adsorptive filtration (such as activated carbon), or a combination of the two to remove contaminants from water. This technology is used in a range of applications, from water pitchers to municipal water treatment facilities.
2. Membrane separation makes use of selective barriers that allow the passage of small particles while blocking larger constituents in a fluid. Membranes have varying ranges of selectivity and can provide more highly treated water than other technologies. They are used in both consumer homes and professional markets such as desalination plants.
3. Disinfection can occur via the application of chemicals (biocides) or the use of disinfection equipment to kill unwanted bacteria and other biological contaminants. Disinfection equipment includes chemical generation systems, ultraviolet (UV) equipment, ozone generation equipment, thermal disinfection equipment, and ultrasonic disinfection equipment. Disinfection equipment provides a suitable option for those trying to limit chemical usage.
