Functions of various treatment processes

1. Aeration: - Some iron oxidation, degassing of CO2, improvement of Dissolved oxygen.

2. Mixing Chlorine: - Biological control of organics/ Algae.

3. Mixing Alum/ Poly Aluminum Chloride :Coagulation

4. Flocculation: - Promotion of floc size.

5. Settling: - Removal of suspended matter and organics.

6. Rapid Gravity Sand filtration: - Final Clarification

7. Mixing Chlorine (post Chlorination): - Disinfection to prevent bacterial growth in reservoir & distribution network.

8. Sludge thickening: - Reduction of sludge volume

9. Sludge Dewatering (by centrifuges) Minimizing the sludge (truckable consistency)
