Presentation Transcript
Pure water is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It is an excellent solvent that can dissolve most minerals that come in contact with it. This is the reason that there is really no such thing pure water in nature; it always contains chemical and biological impurities.
During precipitation or passage over and through land, water picks up a wide variety of dissolved and suspended impurities. As rain falls through the atmosphere, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases dissolve indecently. It also picks up dust, dirt and acid fumes and other impurities.
At the ground surface, the water picks up silt, microorganism and a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds. As water percolates into the ground it will dissolve various mineral that come in contact with it during its passage through the soil strata.
The primary goals of a water treatment plant for over a century have remained the same: produce water that is biologically and chemically safe, is appealing to consumer and is noncorrosive and non- scaling.
