MY METHOD AND STYLE TO MAKE A RIVER WATER FILTERING USING THE PVDF 2000 LPH

Summary

In this video, Taufik Ramadhan presents a comprehensive river water filtration concept aimed at converting raw river water into clean, drinkable water. The process involves a series of stages, starting with water chlorination, settling tanks for sedimentation, and the use of filtration technologies like silica sand, activated carbon, and UV lamps. The final water undergoes treatment through various filters to ensure it is hygienic and suitable for consumption and cooking. Taufik explains each step of the system, including the use of specialized pumps and tanks, offering a detailed yet accessible look at water purification.

Takeaways

• 😀 A river water filtration system can be developed using a series of tanks, filters, and pumps to purify and make water drinkable.
• 😀 The system begins by directing river water into a suction pipe, which is pumped through various stages of treatment.
• 😀 Alum is used in the chlorinator to help with the oxidation of the river water and adjust the water's chemical properties.
• 😀 The first settling tank helps remove impurities by using a Venturi nozzle injector to direct water to the bottom, allowing for overflow to the second settling tank.
• 😀 The second tank helps further clarify the water, though it may still look cloudy at this stage.
• 😀 A second pump moves water to two FRP 1054 tubes, which contain fine silica sand and activated carbon as filter media to clean the water.
• 😀 Chlorine tablets are added in the chlorinator after the first filtration to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and non-water elements.
• 😀 After passing through the filters, the water is sent to a membrane filter (PVDF F2000 LPH) for final clarification before being stored in a 3000-liter storage tank.
• 😀 The clean water from the storage tank is divided into distribution channels, with a dedicated line for drinking and cooking needs.
• 😀 A series of 10-inch filter housings, an ultraviolet lamp, and additional 0.1 micron sediment filters ensure the final water is sterile, free of sediment, and safe for consumption.
• 😀 Gravity-assisted water distribution is used for efficiency, and the system can be operated without a distribution pump by using elevated tanks.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the chlorinator in the water filtration process?

The chlorinator helps in the oxidation process of river water by adding alum, which aids in the removal of impurities.

How does the first settling tank help in the water purification process?

The first settling tank uses a Venturi nozzle injector to direct the water to the bottom of the tank, where it slowly rises and overflows, allowing sediments to settle and the water to begin clearing.

What role does the second settling tank play in water filtration?

The second settling tank continues the purification process by further settling out impurities, even though the water may still not look completely clear.

What is the function of the FRP 1054 tubes in the filtration process?

The FRP 1054 tubes contain fine silica sand and activated carbon, which filter out impurities, improve the water's clarity, and remove color, taste, and odor.

What is the final filter used in the system before the water is stored?

The final filter is the PVDF F2000 LPH membrane, which acts as the last step to ensure the water is completely clear before storage.

How does the system ensure that the drinking and cooking water is safe?

The system uses additional filtering through 10-inch filter housings with CTO and UDEF filters, followed by UV lamps that kill germs and bacteria, ensuring the water is sterile and hygienic.

Why are UV lamps used in the water purification system?

UV lamps are used to kill bacteria and germs in the water, ensuring that the water is safe for consumption and free from harmful microorganisms.

How does the gravity system contribute to the energy efficiency of the filtration process?

The water tank is placed above ground, utilizing gravity for water distribution, which reduces the need for pumps and makes the process more energy-efficient.

What happens if the water quality is not up to the required standard after the settling tanks?

The water is further treated by a second chlorinator, followed by filtration through the FRP 1054 tubes, to remove remaining impurities before passing through the PVDF filter.

How does the system manage maintenance and ease of use for the PVDF F2000 LPH membrane?

The system includes features like backflushing and bypass lines to make it easier to maintain and operate the PVDF F2000 LPH membrane efficiently.
