Water Treatment
Water treatment is the process of removing unwanted substances , discolouration or tastes from existing supply to make it safer, more palatable or to change its nature to better suite the purpose of domestic or industrial use.
The main categories of water treatment are water treatment for domestic or industrial use plus sewerage water treatment which falls under the category of industrial water treatment .
The water treatment category that Aqua Elite specialises in is the domestic or potable water treatment and industrial water treatments.
Water Treatment for Drinking Water | Potable Drinking Water Treatment
The main sources for drinking water are surface water via rainfall into dams or catchment areas or subterranean water found in aquifers , boreholes or wells. Most domestic homes in developed countries receive their water from local municipalities who have gone to the expense of treating it prior to distribution.
This type of water treatment would include the separation of solid materials , settlement and removal of suspended particles, chemical treatment to remove bacteria and water borne viruses and discolouration. The water is then further sanitised and released to the distribution system via water pipes.
The home owner would then only need to remove smaller quantities of contaminants collected from the distribution channels or unwanted chemical addition or disinfection byproducts. Large municipalities are able to apply at least 7 distinct processes to make the water treatment effective . Domestic users still have the option of using water filters or reverse osmosis water treatment systems to further purify the water they use for food preparation or beverages.
It is the home owner in smaller communities which are at the most risk as these smaller municipalities simply do not have the necessary budget , political will or expertise to fully process the raw water and this partly treated water is then passed on to the owner. It then becomes the home owners responsibility to treat his own water to a higher level that is more acceptable to him.
Water Treatment of Subterranean water by home owners has to equal and better the local municipal steps and its these initia steps that are problematic and sometimes particularly costly as all water supply qualities differ and there is no single water treatment process that is best or financially viable to resolve all water problems. If this were the case we would not have water supply quality problems as it would be resolved by the smallest of municipalities.
Water treatment is a science and is quite complex with multiple variables and in the Industrial sector this is particularly true. Below is a new technology for removing suspended solids from water and waste water. The baleen filter was developed in Australia and has won many awards . tested in many environments it has far out performed cake presses in terms of power usage and effectiveness.
