Two solutions are often used for the final treatment of water and its consumption by humans: reverse osmosis membranes and UV disinfection. And these two technologies, in turn, can find an ally in free-fiber cloth filters. The goal: effective removal of suspended solids pre-potable.
We have now reached the tertiary treatment stage in the case of municipal plants (or at least removal of suspended solids down to a few tens of mg/l, if we are talking about industrial plants). One step is still necessary at this point to make the treated water safe for human consumption: it is the potabilization process. These are some of the methods for obtaining potable water.
Constant monitoring from a Deming cycle perspective (circularity of management approach and continuous improvement) is also essential: this is both for the care of people’s health and as a litmus test for any plant maintenance needs.
We have seen that the potabilization phase requires the use of technologies such as reverse osmosis membranes and ultraviolet lamps: both of these technologies derive a great deal of support from the upstream installation of pile cloth media filters.
This is because the depth filtration, enabled by these solutions (instead of the translation of surface filtration), allows a higher yield of pre-potable solids removal. Each of the two downstream solutions achieves considerable advantages.
