How to Use XJY’s Water Treatment Technology to Turn River Water into Drinking Water System
River water is a widespread, abundant freshwater resource that is often used as a source of drinking water. So how do you purify river water into safe, clean drinking water? Read on to learn the detailed treatment steps and techniques.
What are the characteristics of river water purification?
River water comes from precipitation and melting of mountain ice. It shapes the riverbed and riverbank as it flows. Its quality is affected by local soil and vegetation. Compared with groundwater, river water has high turbidity, contains more sediment, algae and microorganisms, low TDS and hardness, has self-purification ability, and relatively stable water quality. However, living and industrial activities can cause it to contain excessive nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals and radioactive substances. The amount of river water varies significantly with the seasons. In summer, the water is abundant and easy to collect, while in winter, the water volume decreases and the turbidity decreases.
What is the significance of river treatment water plant?
Freshwater resources available to humans only account for 0.26% of the total water on Earth, and at least 26% of the world's population lacks clean and safe drinking water. River water management can efficiently utilize and distribute water resources, meet urban water supply, and alleviate freshwater shortages in poor and remote areas.
Untreated river water contains bacteria, viruses, suspended particles and toxic chemicals. Drinking it will increase the risk of waterborne diseases. Pathogens such as E. coli can cause a variety of diseases. Long-term exposure to chemical pollutants can also damage the immune system and increase the risk of cancer.
Treated river water can be used for production activities such as agriculture and industry to improve production efficiency and promote economic growth. At the same time, it will help the sustainable development of water resources and maintain the global ecological balance and stability.
How does XJY turn river water into drinking water system?
The geological environment in different regions makes the composition of river water complex, and the same is true for river water around large communities. XJY adopts differentiated treatment methods for different substances. The first step is to accurately test the turbidity, pH, SS, TDS and bacteria of river water, and select effective treatment methods based on the test results to ensure the stability and safety of community water supply. The following is the standard procedure for XJY to treat river water in large communities:
1.River water collection
The location for collecting river water is crucial, and upstream river sections away from industrial pollution areas, agricultural discharge areas and densely populated urban areas are often selected as water intake points.
2.Preliminary treatment
The collected river water enters the pretreatment stage of the water treatment plant. It first passes through the screen to remove large floating objects such as leaves and plastic bags, and then flows into the sedimentation tank. Gravity allows heavier particles such as silt to settle naturally, and the water quality is initially purified.
3.Coagulation and flocculation
River water entering the coagulation stage is formed by adding coagulants such as aluminum salts and iron salts to neutralize the surface charge of tiny particles and colloidal substances, and floccules are formed, which are further aggregated in the flocculation tank.
4.Sedimentation and filtration
In the sedimentation tank, the floccules settle to form sludge, and the supernatant flows into the filtration system composed of sand filter tanks or activated carbon filters to effectively remove residual suspended matter, organic matter and some microorganisms, and further purify the water quality.
5.Disinfection
The treated river water is disinfected to achieve a sterilization effect. Common methods of disinfection include chlorine disinfection, ozone disinfection, and ultraviolet disinfection.
6.Water quality monitoring and regulation
Before supplying water, the treated water needs to be tested for physical, chemical and microbiological indicators, and further adjusted according to the results, such as adjusting the pH value and adding minerals, to ensure that it meets the drinking water hygiene standards and improves the taste and nutritional value.
7.Transportation and distribution
After the above series of treatments, the river water has been transformed into safe and pure drinking water.
