Often times the problem is that there is not enough water in the right place or the water is too contaminated for people to consume safely. Thus, a variety of water treatment technologies exist to treat municipal sources as well as industrial discharges into surface water. These technologies also are used by industries in order to prevent the corrosion of machinery, by beverage produces in order to comply with federal regulations and provide a consistent product, and by consumers who install filtration systems in their homes in order not to feel as compromised about the tap water they receive. It is also used in industrial and high tech applications such as the preparation of sterilized water in the pharmaceutical industry and the preparation of purified makeup water in the semiconductor industry.
Activated carbon is an old technology that is used in all segments of the water market.
UV and chemical treatment is widely used in municipal and industrial applications. Ozonation is being used almost universally in the bottled water industry where it is usually one of the last steps before bottling. Greensand and dual filtering reduces stain-causing minerals such as iron and manganese. Please also mention the report number and its cost.
