Abcs Of Survival Water Purification Systems

By Stacey Burt


Filtration is the removal of contaminants from waters to get waters that is fit for normal domestic consumption or for irrigation of fields and also for industrial uses (eg. For use by establishments for food). With the gradual depletion of natural sources of drinking waters (deep waters), is increasingly resorting to surface waters (seas, rivers, lakes and dams) (survival water purification systems).

Quick filters are identical to those lenses; only varies the thickness of material forming the filter bed and the mattress filtering, in order to make faster the speed of filtration, equal to 5-10 m / hour. In this case the filtration is mechanical. For quick filters as a rule are used leach monolayer (single media) consisting of quartz sand (50-80 cm thick) supported by a mattress filter, or a drainage layer, consisting of coarser material (such as gravel) the thickness.

The filtration is carried out by passing the waters (from rivers or lakes) through various types of implants removal of organic and inorganic material. The removal methods used can be physical, chemical-physical and biological function of type of substances to be eliminated from waters entering the plant.

The filtering layer resting on a draining bottom, which has the function of: surface filters: filtration takes place through filter cloths which prevent the passage from the materials above the size of blind holes (not es.tessuto tissue; in this case the particles are retained on the surface of filter media forming a layer of material that retains the subsequent particles.

ants: the most used today are the polyelectrolytes. The agitation speed should be neither too low to prevent sedimentation of flakes, or too high to avoid breakage of flake. The slow agitation is achieved by use of mechanical mixers (dynamic system) or by placing a series of baffles in tank (static system).

Treatments: also divided into several phases, improve the organoleptic characteristics of waters (adsorption on activated carbon) and lower the content of dissolved solids (demineralization). The interventions of this type are provided, when necessary, upstream of treatment processes of filtration real, and allow the removal of materials and substances which by their nature and size are likely to damage the equipment and compromise the efficiency of subsequent treatment stages.

The waters containing sediments that can create several problems during the cycle of filtration. This law is valid for strictly spherical particles immersed in a liquid at rest and at constant temperature where the downward motion is not influenced neither by the presence of other particles or from the container walls.

These flocculants, added in small doses, immediately after the coagulant, improve the efficiency of process affecting mainly. The adjuvants used are polyelectrolytes, organic macromolecules obtained through polymerization processes, waters-soluble or dispersible well, characterized by the presence of charged groups or at least polar throughout the chain.
