GOST for drinking water in 1973.

Scientists have determined the chemical composition of water necessary for the human body.

Passers-by on the streets of the city.

Enterprises that produce food and medicines.

Metallurgical production.

The production of clean water has become an independent branch of production.

Water purification by settling, filtration, distillation and boiling in laboratory conditions.

The method of purification depends on the composition of the water.

Artesian groundwater.

A cartoon explaining how artesian water is kept clean.

When extracting artesian water, the main task is to raise the water to the surface.

For complete disinfection, chlorine can be added.

For large cities, water is taken from rivers and lakes.

Rough water purification from an external source.

The water then passes through strainers for more thorough cleaning.

The next stage of water purification is disinfection.

In the chlorination room, chlorine water is prepared and added to the channel

raw water.

For cleaning from very small particles, an automatic dispenser feeds aluminum sulfate into the water.

After this operation, the water enters the sump.

Clarified water goes to fast filters.

The composition of the fast filters.

If the water in the source is clean, then the settling operation is excluded from the purification chain.

The composition of the contact clarifier.

A cartoon explaining the operation of the contact clarifier.

This completes the water purification.

Now you can introduce the necessary additives, for example, fluorine compounds.

The purified water enters the tanks, and then to the pumping station of the second lift.

From here, clean water goes into the city.

The laboratory assistant takes water samples.

The compliance of water with Gost is determined.

The city of Shevchenko oilmen is watered by the salty waters of the Caspian Sea.

The cheap energy of a nuclear power plant feeds powerful desalination plants.

Seawater goes through all the stages of mechanical purification, as well as fresh water.

Then, by distillation in desalinators, salts are removed from it.

A large oil refinery.

A large amount of water is used in production.

Sand catcher.

The water purified from large mechanical impurities enters the oil traps.

The oil is collected in tanks and reused.

The water will be saturated with air and fed to the flotators.

Then comes the biological purification.

Aerotanks.

They simulate the biological process of water purification.

For some types of bacteria, organic sewage is a tasty food.

A view of these bacteria under a microscope.

Complex organic compounds are oxidized by bacteria into carbon dioxide and water.

Then the water is defended, chlorinated and dumped into the reservoir.

The laboratory assistant collects water for analysis.

Pervomaisky chemical plant in Ukraine.

This plant will have no sewage.

There is a closed water supply cycle here.
