Water Purification
Water Purification is a method of refining water which brings cleaner, safer and purer fluid output for human consumption and also for other applications. Water is an essential element that can sustain life, thus vital to all living things. But with the imbalance state of our ecosystem, there have been changes in the physical, biological and chemical conditions to the different bodies of water.
Pure and safe drinking water is one of the basic needs of man. A lot of people depend their water supply from a common source. Our tap water contains thousands of different contaminants which are potentially harmful.
If only many people knew what was actually in our drinking water, they would suggest not drinking it. Our tap water contains over two thousand different contaminants, many of which are potentially harmful. It can put one’s health at risk. To successfully remove all the harmful elements or contaminants from the water, a process called the water treatment is applied.
On the other hand, water filtration method such as reverse osmosis, (RO) is known to be one of the best mean to purify water. In addition, RO is a method of producing pure water by forcing saline or impure water through a semi-permeable membrane across which salts or impurities cannot pass. Also, harmful particles or impurities can be removed from a solution through this process. It involves removal of contaminants such as solids, bacteria, algae, plants, inorganic compounds, and organic compound.
Furthermore, purification of water has great benefits to mankind. The water goes through various filtering process so that the fluid will meet the certain specifications for safe water consumption and as well as application.
