Raw Water Treatment Challenges - Netsol Water Blogs

What are the basic RAW WATER TREATMENT challenges and how can they be avoided ?   There can be several challenges that can surface during raw water treatment when industrial companies start treating a raw water source for the different processes. Irrespective of designing a new plant or upgrading existing equipment, overcoming the five raw water treatment challenges will facilitate more efficient process operation.  The five basic challenges with raw water treatment and steps to avoid them are enumerated below. 1. Turbidity Variation Turbidity is defined as the cloudiness of water due to the presence of a large number of particles. Due to the variation in turbidity there can be negative effects on the quality of the process and effluent from the plant.  A consistent set of years’ worth of data is definitely required to evaluate the turbidity levels coming into the plant across different seasons prior to designing of the system. If the plant is designed around the seasonal turbidity

Working of Raw Water Treatment Systems - Netsol Water Solutions

There is a requirement for some type of raw water treatment system to ensure an efficient process as well as a quality product, for any industrial company that uses a raw water source for its facility. The most effective raw water treatment system will help the facility to avoid the following: 1.avoid costly plant downtime, 2.avoid expensive maintenance fees, and 3.not being able to sell its products in the market   What is a raw water treatment system? How does the raw water treatment system function? The answer to this query primarily depends on the quality of the raw water source in relation to the quality of water needed for the factory. What is a raw water treatment system? A raw water treatment system consists of multiple individual technologies that address the facility’s particular raw water treatment needs. Treating raw water is mostly not a static process. A raw water treatment system that is designed, engineered, and built to accommodate fluctuations in treatment needs will

An Insight into Water Pollution

Our seas, rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs are drowning in chemicals, waste, plastic, and other pollutants. Here’s why? and what you can do to help.   While we all know water is very crucial for living beings, we waste it away. Approximately 80 percent of the world’s wastewater is dumped (mostly untreated) back into the environment, polluting seas, rivers, streams, and lakes. This problem of water pollution is jeopardizing the health of all of us. Unhygienic water kills more people every year than all other forms of “life-killers” combined. As a matter of fact, our drinkable water sources are finite in quantum, Less than one percent of the earth’s fresh water is accessible to humankind.  In 2050, when Global demand for fresh water is expected to be 33% more than the demand for freshwater as of now, it will pose a greater challenge if we don’t take appropriate action. Sipping a glass of cool, clean, and clear water doesn’t mean that water pollution is a problem elsewhere. But whil

Characterization of Water And Water Bodies

How is the characterization of Water bodies done? The characterization is done by classification into three major components: 1. Hydrology 2. Physical-chemistry 3. Biology.  Water quality assessment is based on the appropriate monitoring of the above three components.   Hydrodynamic features The hydrological cycle inter-connects all freshwater bodies from the atmosphere to the sea. The different stages of water ranging from rainwater to marine salt waters make the water constitute a continuum. The inland freshwaters form parts of the hydrological cycle and they appear in the form of rivers, lakes or ground-waters.  These principal types of water bodies are closely interconnected. These forms may influence each other in a direct manner, or through intermediary stages. Each of the three forms has distinctly different hydrodynamic properties. Rivers are primarily characterized by the unidirectional flow of current. This is accompanied with a relatively high, average flow
