When surface and groundwater turn into high-quality drinking water
We provide complete solutions for purifying water into high quality drinking water
Home / Applications / Drinking water
Depending on local climate, geology and other conditions, the source of water for potable water production can be either sea-, ground- or surface water. Each type requires a different treatment approach to produce safe and high quality drinking water.

Groundwater
Ground water will often look clear and clean but it can still contain many pollutants, such as pesticides, excess minerals and microbiological organisms.
Surface water
Surface waters contain organics and suspended solids, that need to be removed in a coagulation step before water can be filtered and disinfected.
Ocean water
Ocean water contains salt, which must be removed in a reverse osmosis membrane process. This process also removes most of the minerals, so most often the water needs a remineralization step.

Optimal use of coagulants
When drinking water is produced from surface water it is very important to remove organics and all the fine silt particles and other colloidal material.
This can be done by adding coagulants, which are essential for effective separation of the polluting material from the water during a purification process.
