AERATION
Spraying the water into the atmosphere through jets or passing it over rough
surfaces to remove entrained noxious gases such as carbon dioxide or
hydrogen sulfide
COAGULATION & PRECIPITATION
Addition of coagulants, such as ferrous sulfate and lime, to the water which
cause the larger suspended particles to form a gelatinous mass which
precipitates readily. The precipitate is gathered in large dumps and disposed
of.
FILTRATION
Water is passed through layers of sand and gravel in concrete basins in order
to remove the finer suspended particles.
SEDIMENTATION
Water is injected with hypo-chlorite or chlorine gas to kill the harmful bacteria.
