As per the Process of the Water treatment methods, Water treatment plant types differ.

1. Reverse Osmosis (RO) water Treatment Plant
2. Electrodyalysis (ED) water Treatment Plant
3. De Ionized (DE) water Treatment Plant
4. Distillation water Treatment Plant
5. Softener water Treatment Plant
6. Sewage (Waste) Water Treatment Plant

Raw well water containing more Iron and Manganese it is poisoned when we are drinking. so we have to remove iron and manganese to water use safe drinking water.

How to remove Iron in drinking water

When water containing iron and manganese passes through water softener water treatment plant and containing the mixed bed ( Deionized water treatment plant ) anion and cation resins , it oxidized and precipitated by contact and hydrogen sulfide H2S gas eliminated by oxidation to sulfate and insoluble precipitate.

Regeneration of Softener

This Softener water treatment plant is Periodic  regeneration cycle with a weak solution of potassium permanganate restore the oxidizing capacity of the bed.

1. Water heating  efficiencies on system using softener water treatment plant may be decrease up to 22 % if using the electricity.
2. The life of plumbing system may increase because clogging from scale within pipes will be reduced.
3. Softener used as many application such as water heater washing machines, dishwashers, may last longer and perform better.
4. Softener product water of soft water Soapy residue on cloths is reduced so they may look and wear better .
5. Skin and hair can be rinsed more completely with soft water by softener, making hair look shiner and skin cleaner.

The most common water problems is Hard water  and are the having Temporary and  permanent  hardness removed by the Softener Water Treatment Plant as follows.

Hard Water

Most of the earth’s water is groundwater. It travels through rock and soil picking up minerals, including calcium and magnesium along the way. These two contaminants produce is commonly known as “Hardness” in water. Hard water could be noticed easily on clogged pipes and appliances. Hard water mineral deposit can form in coffee makers and other plumbing equipment . A film layer could be seen on bathtubs or shower tiles due to hard water.  Hard water can cause hair to be dull and limps and dry skin. Water heating costs could increase as a result of hard water. The calcium and magnesium in hard water act as many soaps, and detergent to reduce their cleaning capabilities. These hardness increase the cost of washing and reduces the lite of clothes also.

When water containing iron or manganese passes through the water treatment filter bed, birm media acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen and iron compounds and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and easily filtered by the iron removal softener water treatment plant. Periodic automatic time clock backwash flushes cut the accumulated iron and manganese in Softener Iron water treatment plant and the birm media bed is ready to perform its function.

• Water treatment softener contains cation resins its remove hardness causing with Calcium and Magnesium salts and exchange them with (Na++) Sodium salts and it is  not deposit or scale formation.

• To retain the resins  exchange capacity through back washing with Sodium Chloride ( Table Salt)
