Conventional Water Treatment: Coagulation and Filtration

Conventional Water Treatment: Coagulation and Filtration

Many water treatment plants use a combination of coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection to provide clean, safe drinking water to the public. Worldwide, a combination of coagulation, sedimentation and filtration is the most widely applied water treatment technology, and has been used since the early 20th century.

Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis

Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis

An ultrafiltration filter has a pore size around 0.01 micron. A microfiltration filter has a pore size around 0.1 micron, so when water undergoes microfiltration, many microorganisms are removed, but viruses remain in the water. Ultrafiltration would remove these larger particles, and may remove some viruses.
