Many guys are asking frequently, what are the Technologies / treatment process are available to Drinking as well as Effluent Water Parameter? numerous methods that are available to control or removal the impurities presents in the water.
Generally in textile effluent Color removal is very difficult Task. similarly in the same plant, the feed water of Reverse Osmosis plant turbidity will not maintain uniformly.
Though several methods are available only few system that are adopting in globally, many factors are involve for selection criteria
1. cost of technology
2. that technology must be given uniform result
3. It must be upgrade-able one.
4. the process / system’s running cost as well as recharge the system (ex. media of softning plant, membrane of RO like.,) that must be reasonable one.
Note the available method.
For Color Removal
Coagulation/rapid sand filtration
Adsorption
• Granular activated carbon (GAC) media
• Powdered activated carbon (PAC) addition
• Synthetic resins (ion exchange)
Oxidation
• Ozone
• Chlorine
• Potassium permanganate
• Chlorine dioxide
Nanofiltration

Before going to adopt any technology into your process, think carefully with available right technician and do tiny pros and cons list of each system personally.
