Package Municipal Integrated Compact Drinking Water Treatment Plant

This advanced municipal Water Purification System is engineered for efficient, reliable, and fully automated treatment of raw water sources—ideal for small to medium-sized communities, remote villages, or industrial facilities seeking clean drinking water without manual intervention. Designed with modular components and intelligent controls, the unit delivers consistent performance even under fluctuating turbidity conditions, making it a robust solution for decentralized water supply systems worldwide.

Key Features:

• Integrated coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation-filtration-disinfection process in a single compact unit
• Automatic chemical dosing based on real-time raw water turbidity levels
• Multi-media filtration media (4–7 layers) ensuring high particulate removal efficiency (>98%)
• Electrolytic sodium hypochlorite generator for safe, on-site disinfection
• Smart backwash cycle triggered by pressure differential, reducing water waste and operational costs
• High tolerance for variable inlet water quality—up to 3000 NTU short-term spikes

The system begins with precise coagulant injection into the raw water stream, where flocculation occurs within a controlled reaction chamber over 10–20 minutes. This step transforms suspended solids and colloidal matter into larger aggregates that settle naturally in the sedimentation zone, significantly improving downstream filtration efficiency. The filtered output achieves an exceptional clarity of ≤1 NTU—well below WHO standards—and can maintain this level even during peak contamination events. Filtration relies on layered granular media such as anthracite, sand, and garnet, each selected for optimal particle capture at different depths. Following filtration, the treated water passes through an electrolytic chlorine generator that produces sodium hypochlorite directly from salt and electricity—a safer alternative to traditional chemical storage methods. The entire process is managed via an intuitive control panel that monitors flow rates, pressure changes, and backwash cycles automatically, minimizing human oversight while maximizing uptime.

This compact drinking water treatment plant excels in diverse applications including rural community water supply, temporary housing projects, off-grid settlements, agricultural irrigation support, and emergency relief operations. It’s particularly suited for regions lacking access to centralized infrastructure or where energy-efficient, low-maintenance solutions are essential. Its ability to handle high-turbidity water makes it ideal for seasonal river intake points, monsoon-affected areas, or surface water sources prone to sediment load fluctuations.

Users report improved water safety, reduced maintenance time, and fewer complaints about taste or odor compared to older systems. One operator noted that the automatic backwash feature saved up to 40% in water usage per cycle, while another praised the simplicity of operation—even for untrained staff. Many have adopted this system as part of their sustainable development initiatives due to its minimal environmental footprint and long-term cost-effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the maximum raw water turbidity this system can handle? The system operates effectively with raw water turbidity up to 1500 NTU continuously, and can manage short-term spikes up to 3000 NTU without compromising final water quality.

How often does the filter require backwashing? Backwashing occurs automatically when the pressure differential across the filter reaches preset thresholds—typically every 2–8 hours depending on feed water quality and flow rate.

Is the disinfection method safe for drinking water? Yes—the electrolytic sodium hypochlorite generator produces a stable residual disinfectant that meets international health guidelines for potable water, eliminating pathogens without harmful by-products.

Can it be installed in cold climates? Yes—with proper insulation and freeze protection measures, the system functions reliably in temperatures as low as -10°C, especially if integrated with a heated enclosure.
