A well-functioning water filtration system removes 99% of microorganisms and chemical contaminants present in the treated water, making it safe to use as drinking water. Several technologies are available to treat wastewaters. They include adsorption, sub micron filtration, carbon adsorption, ion exchange, and carbon adsorption. The primary process of filtration involves separation of solid or liquid materials from the wastewater. These processes remove large particulates, suspended solids, solid matter, organic matter or certain metals in the water that could prove harmful to human health. In addition, some wastewater treat...
