Click on each stage to explore the physical and chemical processes used to purify surface water into safe drinking water.

Coagulation

Chemicals (coagulants like Alum) are rapidly mixed into raw water. They neutralize the negative electrical charges on fine particles, which normally keep them apart.

What happens to the particles?

Rapid mixing. Chemicals added. Charges neutralized.
