Groundwater treatment

Most of our drinking water comes from groundwater. Here you can find process-based measurement technology for the treatment of drinking water from groundwater. In the graph you can see the different steps required for the treatment of drinking. Click the process for which you need the measurement technology. Based on a selection the JUMO product portfolio for your process will be shown. Using the accurate description, you will find different JUMO solutions for the machines and systems that are used in drinking water treatment.

Water well

2 Solutions

One of the sources from which drinking water is obtained is groundwater. To ensure reliable monitoring of drinking water various parameters are measured and monitored. One of the most important parameters is the pH value.

Coagualtion and flocculation

3 Solutions

Flocculation is a process in drinking water treatment to reduce existing turbidity. Here, extremely fine particles are coagulated from the water. In addition to turbidity, the level and flow of the contents in the flocculation plant have to be measured and monitored.

Sedimentation

2 Solutions

The solid matter and turbidities that form as a result of the flocculation can be isolated through sedimentation. Here, the water quality is monitored via conductivity and pH value. If the pH value is optimized for the flocculation of organic and non-organic materials, it is readjusted following the flocculation separation and before filtration.

Filtration

Pressure measurement

Filtration describes the process whereby a solid matter/liquid mixture in the water or wastewater can be separated or segregated by filters. Pressure monitoring before and after the filter is necessary for efficient filtration.

Disinfection

Chlorine measurement

Disinfection either removes microorganisms from the water or kills them. Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant for treating drinking water. According to the rule "as much as necessary and as little as possible", the concentration and dosage of the chlorine content must be constantly monitored.

Water tank

Level measurement

The treated drinking water is stored in storage tanks. The level in these tanks requires constant monitoring. After all, the tanks should be neither empty nor overflowing, but an effective drinking water supply should be guaranteed.
