Technical Aspects
Raw water is treated with an alum chemical to eliminate contaminants. The chemical alum produces big, easily-removable particles by producing positive charges that adhere to the negative charges of the constituent parts. After the coagulation process, the water is given an hour to settle. Salts and other dissolved contaminants from water are eliminated using the RO procedure. Then, using a bubbling chlorine gas in the chlorination tank, bacteria and other microorganisms are killed.
To remove undissolved pollutants, the water is now passed through sand filters. Finally, the carbon filtration de-chlorination process is performed. Water is run through a carbon filter to remove colour and odour. Carbon filters are also used for dechlorination.
