How do you treat waste water into drinking water?

Answer 1

We remove solid particles from the water by passing it through several filters of various sized stones/pebbles and sand.

We use osmotic filters to remove salts and chemicals from the water.

We treat the water with a chlorine or other substance to kill any potentially harmful bacteria that may be in the water or will grow in the water.

Answer 2

What they do is to force water through a huge series of very fine membranes.

It's essentially ultra-filtering

The older process was the same as distillation, which boiled the water to steam, and collecting the steam as it condensed. The 'yucky' from the water wouldn't turn into steam, obviously, and what you were left with was extremely pure water.

The reason they developed the membrane method was because it allowed more water to be processed at a time, the older process was rather slow.

The problem with the 'cleaned' water is now not that it's dirty, but that it's too clean.

All the salts, and minerals are removed from the water using this process and they need to be re-added if the water is to be used for drinking or plant-growing.

Answer 3

Waste water is treated by septic systems. Water runs from underground septic tanks inside which solids and oils separate from water.

Answer 4

The treatment itself is very simple the company simply filters the water clean. You can find out more about this process at the website en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment -.
