INTRODUCTION
Water filtrations is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants,
suspended solids, and gases from •water. The goal is to produce water fit for specific purposes.
Most water is purified and disinfected for human consumption (drinking water), but water
purification may also be carried out for a variety of other purposes, including medical,
pharmacological, chemical, and industrial applications. The methods used include physical
processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and distillation; biological processes such as slow
sand filters or biologically active carbon; chemical processes such as flocculation and
chlorination; and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light.
Water purification may reduce the concentration of particulate matter including suspended
particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi as well as reduce the concentration of a
range of dissolved and particulate matter.
The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international
standards. These standards usually include minimum and maximum concentrations of
contaminants, depending on the intended use of the water.
Visual inspection cannot determine if water is of appropriate quality. Simple procedures such as
boiling or the use of a household activated carbon filter are not sufficient for treating all possible
contaminants that may be present in water from an unknown source. Even natural spring water —
considered safe for all practical purposes in the 19th century — must now be tested before
determining what kind of treatment, if any, is needed. Chemical and microbiological analysis,
while expensive, are the only way to obtain the information necessary for deciding on the
appropriate method of purification.
Distillation
Distillation is one of the oldest water purification methods. It vaporizes water by heating it to
exceptionally high temperatures. The vapor is then condensed back into drinkable, liquid
water. Distillation removes minerals, microorganisms, and chemicals that have a high boiling
point. These filters cannot remove chlorine and many other volatile organic chemicals.
Carbon Block
Carbon block filters are block-shaped filters that are composed of crushed carbon particles.
These filters tend to be more effective than other types of carbon-based filters since they
have a larger surface area. The rate at which water flows through these filters has a direct
impact on their level of effectiveness. Fibre dyne carbon block filters have a greater
sediment-holding capacity than other types of block filters.
Hollow Carbon' Carbon Block
(Low Pressure Drop) (High pressure Drop)
85% porosity drives low pressure drop 12% porosity drives high pressure drop
Hollow CarbonTM :
5 times better in terms of porosity
40 times higher surface area accessibility
16 times higher pore diameter
Activated Carbon
Carbon removes contaminants by chemically bonding to the water that is poured into the
system. Some are only effective at removing chlorine, which only improves taste and odor,
while others remove more harmful contaminants, such as mercury and lead. It is important
to note that carbon filters do not have the ability to remove inorganic pollutants such as
nitrates, fluoride, and arsenic. Carbon filters are usually sold in block or granulated form to
consumers.
ADVANTAGES
I. After the water has been purified it is separated from unwanted substances.
2. It is safe for consumption and also in doing household chores.
3. It does not require a lot of energy to maintain.
4. It is a simple process.
DISADVANTAGES
I. Not all germs and contaminants are removed from filtered water. When the process
istaking place very, small particles can pass through the membranes used to perform
water filtering.
2. Thorough cleaning and care of the equipment are very vital so that they can carry
outthe water softening process without any hitch whatsoever.
3. All the cartridges must be disposed of after the water softening process. These
cartridges contain harmful toxins that were purified from the hard water. If they are
thrown anyhow they might end up being pollutants to the environment.
GOALS OF FILTERATION
The goals of the treatment are to remove unwanted constituents in the water and to make it
safe to drink or fit for a specific purpose in industry or medical applications. Widely varied
techniques are available to remove contaminants like fine solids, micro-organisms and some
dissolved inorganic and organic materials, or environmental persistent pharmaceutical
pollutants. The choice of method will depend on the quality of the water being treated, the
cost of the treatment process and the quality standards expected of the processed water.
The processes below are the ones commonly used in water purification plants. Some or most
may not be used depending on the scale of the plant and quality of the raw (source) water.
RESULT
We successfully created report on household water filtrations unit.
CONCLUSION
Thus, we successfully created a report on household water filtrations unit. We have added
some of basic water filtrations techniques in the report.
