In areas where access to clean drinking water is essential, converting river water into potable water can provide a sustainable and reliable solution. This project demonstrates how advanced water treatment technologies can efficiently process river water to meet the needs of communities, industries, and agricultural operations. The system produces 750m³ of high-quality drinking water per day, showcasing its capacity for large-scale applications.
Pretreatment: Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter and Sand Filter
The process begins with a robust pretreatment stage that includes a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter and a Sand Filter. These systems work together to remove organic pollutants, chlorine, and suspended particles, ensuring that the water entering the main treatment stage is free of contaminants. This essential pretreatment step protects the more sensitive filtration technologies that follow.
Main Treatment: Ultrafiltration (UF) and Disinfection
The main treatment stage leverages two advanced processes:
- Ultrafiltration (UF): This membrane-based technology effectively removes bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, along with any remaining fine particles.
- Disinfection: After ultrafiltration, the water is disinfected to ensure complete removal of pathogens, making it safe for human consumption.
Outcome
This system successfully converts river water into potable water at a rate of 750m³/day. With its scalable and energy-efficient design, it provides a reliable and high-quality drinking water solution suitable for municipalities, industries, and agricultural regions.
