Overview Of Survival Water Purification Systems

By Stacey Burt


Water is collected from a channel and transported to next treatment. Along this path, all the particles of type that have a grainy sedimentation rate greater than the rate of climb of current are held in tub. In practice, the sedimentation depends on surface of tub and not by its volume (survival water purification systems). In fact the same flow rate of upward flow (Qa), the greater the surface (S) of tub, the lower the speed of upward flow (Va = Qa / S), the greater the proportion of particles sedimenting.

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.

Filtration is a treatment used to remove suspended solids from the waters not sediment. Treatment consists in passing the raw waters through a filter medium (bed / filter layer or filter cloth). In case of filter layer, the filter material can be made from quartz sand, anthracite or activated charcoal. During filtration the filtered solids gradually begin to clog the filtering layer resulting in an increase of load losses, which is increased to overcome the supply pressure. Exceeded the maximum value of said pressure must be made to interruption of flow and to cleaning of filter medium.

However, the fact that the waters is by nature a solvent makes it somewhat problematic the effective elimination of many unwanted substances. The waters is entered into a tank head from which it originated the system of waters supply - drinking. The waters containing different types of organic substances and inorganic, hereinafter classified, that must be removed during the purifying treatment. Physical treatments simple: they are articulated in a single step, eliminating the suspended solids and sediments those not coarse sediments (screening and sedimentation) and non-settleable (sieving and filtration).

Forms special surface filtration membrane processes are divided according to size of pores in: microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and hyperfiltration or reverse osmosis. Filtration membranes can be used for example as an alternative to or flocculation processes adsorption.

Filter volume: the filtration takes place by means of a three-dimensional porous matrix said filter bed consisting of discrete materials of small dimensions (eg. Sand); in this case the particles are retained within filter medium. The effectiveness of a filter material depends on certain properties of particles such as size, shape and surface chemistry. The filters lenses are the first filtration system used in filtration, but they are currently little used. The slow filtration can be used in case of turbidity 10 ppm.

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.
