Chloramine

StarStarStarStar

Serves as a secondary disinfectant, providing longer-lasting water treatment as water moves through pipes.

StarStarStarStar

Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach)

StarStarStarStar

Used as an alternative to chlorine gas for water disinfection.

StarStarStarStar

Ozone (O3)

StarStarStarStar

Utilized for the strong oxidative properties to disinfect water and remove taste and odor.

StarStarStarStar

Aluminum Sulfate (Alum)

StarStarStarStar

Used as a coagulant to remove suspended particles from water by forming larger aggregations that settle out.

StarStarStarStar

Chlorine (Cl2)

StarStarStarStar

Used as a primary disinfectant to kill or inactivate pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Ferric Chloride (FeCl3)

StarStarStarStar

Acts as a coagulant to remove suspended solids by aggregating them into settleable particles.

StarStarStarStar

Phosphates

StarStarStarStar

Added to water to form a protective film on pipes, reducing corrosion and lead or copper leaching.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

StarStarStarStar

Employed to lower the pH of water which can be necessary for certain treatment processes.

StarStarStarStar

Sodium Bisulfite (NaHSO3)

StarStarStarStar

Used as a chlorine dioxide and ozone scavenger to remove excess disinfectants.

StarStarStarStar

Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2)

StarStarStarStar

A flocculant used to remove impurities and to adjust the pH in wastewater treatment.

StarStarStarStar

Polyacrylamides

StarStarStarStar

Function as flocculants to assist in the sedimentation of suspended particles by binding them together.

StarStarStarStar

Lime (Calcium Hydroxide)

StarStarStarStar

Used to adjust the pH and alkalinity of water, aiding in coagulation and reducing pipe corrosion.

StarStarStarStar

Copper Sulfate (CuSO4)

StarStarStarStar

Used to control algae growth in water reservoirs and treatment ponds.

StarStarStarStar

Calcium Hypochlorite

StarStarStarStar

Used as a disinfectant in the form of tablets or granules, effective against a wide range of pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)

StarStarStarStar

Employed to lower the pH of water for various treatment processes.

StarStarStarStar

Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4)

StarStarStarStar

Utilized as an oxidizing agent to control taste and odor, also removing iron and manganese.

StarStarStarStar

Activated Carbon

StarStarStarStar

Used to adsorb organic compounds and remove taste, odor, and potential toxins.

StarStarStarStar

Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate)

StarStarStarStar

Used to increase the pH for coagulation enhancement and corrosion control.

StarStarStarStar

Aeration

StarStarStarStar

A physical process used to remove dissolved gases (like radon) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water.

StarStarStarStar

Silicates

StarStarStarStar

Used to inhibit corrosion in distribution systems by forming a protective film on metal surfaces.
