The purpose of industrial water treatment is to remove impurities from the source water. There are a number of methods to achieve this including: biological processes, physical equipment, and chemical treatment. In this presentation we focus on the physical means of industrial water treatment.

5. 5
Consists of glauconite coated with
manganese oxide
Ideal for filtering dissolved iron,
hydrogen sulfide and manganese
Often requires pretreatment with an
oxidizing agent

6. 6
Consists of at least 3 different layers of
filtration media
Ideal for filtering suspended solids and
particles larger than 10-25 microns
Does not remove viruses, bacteria or
small protozoans

7. 7
Uses a barrier membrane to remove
suspended solids
Ideal for filtering particles down to
0.1-10 microns (e.g. algae, protozoans)
Does not remove dissolved
contaminants
May be used to reduce suspended
solids to protect reverse osmosis
membranes

8. 8
Uses a barrier membrane to remove
suspended solids
Ideal for filtering particles down to 0.01
micron (e.g. bacteria and some viruses)
Does not remove dissolved contaminants
Often used as pretreatment upstream of RO
systems on water high in small suspended solids
Protects membranes by reducing the silt
density index (SDI)

9. 9
Uses a semi-permeable membrane to
remove suspended solids and some
dissolved solids
Ideal for filtering particles down to
0.001 microns (e.g. bacteria, viruses,
divalent and trivalent ions)

10. 10
Uses a semi-permeable membrane to
remove suspended solids
Ideal for filtering contaminants down to
0.0001 micron (e.g. dissolved ions,
bacteria, and viruses)
One of the most cost-efficient
technologies for deionization (removes
up to 98% of dissolved ions with a
single pass)
