Introduction to the Tap Water Treatment Process

Tap water refers to the treatment of river water, lake water and other raw water into water that meets national standards and can be used for production and daily life through various processes such as mixing, reaction, precipitation, filtration and disinfection. With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality of tap water. This requires water plants to continuously improve their water treatment technology and have complete monitoring methods for the entire water treatment process to ensure that they provide people with better quality tap water.

Key Water Quality Monitoring Indicators in Tap Water Treatment

To ensure the safety and quality of tap water, several critical parameters must be continuously monitored throughout the treatment process.

1. pH

pH value is an indicator of the acidity and alkalinity of water. The purpose of monitoring pH value is to ensure that the pH value of water is within the appropriate range to provide drinking water that meets human health requirements.

2. Dissolved Oxygen

Dissolved oxygen refers to the content of dissolved oxygen molecules in water. It is an important indicator for judging the viability of organisms in water, and it is also an evaluation of the freshness and oxidation of water.

3. Turbidity

By monitoring turbidity, we can understand the changes and pollution of water sources, adjust the water treatment process in a timely manner, ensure the stability and safety of water quality, and ensure that the appearance and taste of water meet the needs of consumers.

4. Residual Chlorine

Appropriate residual chlorine content can effectively kill pathogenic microorganisms in the water. However, excessive residual chlorine content may have adverse effects on the human body (such as irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system). Therefore, detecting the content of residual chlorine can ensure the disinfection effect of tap water, monitor disinfectant residues and protect human health.

Implementing a Smart Tap Water Treatment Monitoring System

Monitor parameters such as pH, TDS, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and suspended solids throughout the entire tap water production process through online water quality meters, digital water quality electrodes, and multi-parameter water quality meters, etc. Data is transmitted to a back-end monitoring system via RS485, or uploaded to a cloud platform via a wireless collection module. This enables remote real-time management and monitoring based on preset indicators and standards, allowing for automatic adjustments to the operating parameters of tap water treatment equipment to maintain optimal water quality.
