North Port Utilities

OUR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PROCESS The North Port Drinking water Treatment Facility uses a mixture of both reverse osmosis and conventional surface area water treatment procedures. The conventional surface drinking water treatment and color removal process includes taste and smell control, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and stabilization because of primary water treatment techniques. The process utilized at the North Slot plant to control flavor and odor inside the surface water herb is a consumption process. Powdered triggered carbon (PAC) is usually added to the natural water before the adobe flash mix chamber at the start of the treatment plant. Aluminum sulfate (ALUM), a commonly used coagulation chemical substance, is then added to the flash mixing holding chamber. The carbon contaminants, along with other particles, which include color, bind with all the alum and type heavy floc which can be removed by sedimentation in a large pot. Conventional sand, briquette coal, and tiny rocks filtration are used to get rid of any remaining contaminants. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) along with hydrogen is used for disinfection after filtration. Salt hydroxide (caustic) is utilized for stabilization (PH control). North Port’s water treatment facility likewise uses a reverse osmosis treatment process. The origin water for this procedure is pumped coming from intermediate aquifer water wells and into some membranes to remove deserving of and other inorganic components from the water substances. After purification, water is run through a great aeration odor control process to remove hydrogen sulfide. Chlorine is usually added as a medical disinfectant before blending with all the treated surface drinking water before distribution to the customers..
