As a licensed water treatment operator, I was expecting a super basic and dumbed down explanation, but this is a really accurate overview. I was mostly surprised that some of the other lesser known treatment options were explained.
20 years in water plants (I now run one) and I never thought about a TH-cam channel. Very cool. I'm at a 17.4 mgd plant in Michigan now, looking forward to a video on this type of plant. I'd be happy to offer any info.
While it is relatively expensive to treat water, and it's a critical asset, the cost to replace most distribution system piping is significantly more expensive. The bulk of the money for a water company/authority is underground. The general thumb rule is about $1000 per foot to replace water mains. Differs according to size, but it's an average.
It's usually because most water companies profit from it. Fortunately I work for a non profit company so bills aren't so bad here. Most other companies in the UK are extortionate
Kiefty the ones that don’t profit usually don’t put any money back into the system either. I’ve worked for both and the private investor owned companies are far superior when it comes to compliance and treatment technology
@@dlo6097 I went to college and finished my degree in mechanical engineering. Got a job with a company that needed a facility tech with some engineering knowledge so I got hired and asked if I could take ove the facility water plant. I agreed, and took over, studied to get my treatment and distribution certifications and now I'm head of the water department.
@@dlo6097 Your best bet is to try to get your certifications in treatment or distribution or both. Contact your local environmental government agency to see what is your state requirements for you to take the exam for level 1 treatment or level 1 distribution. Usually you can take them without any experience at the level 1 in most states. There are 5 levels on each treatment and distribution. Levels 2 through 5 usually require you to have a year or more of experience.
@@dlo6097 Study and get level 1. After that you will have a good chance of getting hired at a low level in any water facility. From there just keep working to gain experience and then get the level 2 and 3 tests on whichever area you like most whether it be water treatment or distribution.
I know this was posted a long time ago but thanks to my science teacher told us to watch this video and I really should give her a water bottle after this video. Yes this is for school work
Thank you for such an educational and informative video. I always thought that it was chemical engineers who designed those treatment plants. Turned out it's civil engineers that are the real brains behind those.
So i actually looked this up after talking with a friend in Indonesia, which commonly doesnt have clean tap water in most places. Makes me aware of what I take for granted!
Very informative. I own a small Water Refilling Station with this kind of information I understood more and I can improve my water treatment and make water more safe and delicious to drink
I don't subscribe much but when I do its because I'm impressed and interested in seeing more. I believe this is the best summarized explanation of a water treatment plant video I've ever seen. It will be an awesome clip to share with people especially students who are interested in learning about the industry. It's a wonder why this type of career is not promoted in grade school especially with the state of our infrastructure today and the future demand for Operators.
Ilham Andreansyah - FTI UJ Thank you very much sir for the explanation, on this occasion I learned a lot in this video explain how the flow of processing river water into dringking water . Very interesting and easy to understand.
Awesome, I watched your waste water video often during school and wish you had had a fresh water version. Now that you have one maybe it will get more people interested in the industry. We are almost always short handed because so many operators are retiring. Its a great job if you enjoy casual chemistry, critical thinking, and being part of the secret backbone to civilization. Anyway, great video.
Too many people take clean drinking water for granted .....which is a beautiful and privileged thing . But it wouldn't harm if people appreciated clean water on demand a bit more, and imagine being one day without clean water. Too many people on this planet must do without . It's somewhat strange though that perfect drinking water is used to flush toilets. Which is instrumental that people take fresh water too much for granted , and easily let the tap running while brushing their teeth. There might come times when wars will be fought over fresh water. 👍🏻💧
I spent so long trying to figure out water treatment. Every single source I found was either poorly explained, way too basic or too complex. Thank you so much for clearly laying the steps out

awesome video! explains about drinking water plant and the treatment process takes dirty river water or well water and turns it into safe drinking water (coagulation & flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection). water quality and accountability arrangements are also explained.
I was quite fascinated with this specific topic for a long time. There's this company or process called blue water if I'm not mistaken, it uses multiple steps, magnets, ozone all of that.
Now I get it! Sikome Lake is basically one giant Sand Filter before swimmers effluent enters the Bow River! That explains the Swimmer's Itch afterwards!
Thanks u very much . Though I know every details of water treatment plant , but didn't know about the pressure(40psi) required to be maintained. Do a video related to paint shop industry.
This is the best edited educational video I've watched, i just came across your channel with my curiosity for how water is treated. The edits and format is awesome, you give details with great visual examples, great video all around. Makes me want to watch more.
As an operator in Ohio I can confirm. However I have only ever heard of Chlorine disinfection for the clean side. If O3 or UV gets used It would be on the dirty end for sure.
Definitely agree. Most US plants are going to be required to have residual chlorine levels. I’ve seen some plants with UV and Chlorine, or a combination for extra treatment. Chlorine seems to be less common outside of the US
Hi I’m an operator from Queensland, Australia and we use uv reactors after the filters and also use free chlorine. And as a side note we are starting to implement chlorine contact time in our HACCP charts.
Operator in Saskatchewan. We have some plants which use pre-chlorination. Yes you have risks associated, but if properly managed, it can be very beneficial. Really depends on your source water and type of plan.
I suppose I should have added that we are 100% ground water, so we have a much lower risk of issues from just using pure chlorination. I supposed I only looked at it from that lens. Perhaps operations with more issues from organics might be at more of a risk to use chlorination only. Thanks for the eye opener, could be useful in the future if a job transfer ever became a thing.
Operator here in ohio and we use ozone coupled with hypo. In the process of also getting uv. I wouldnt say dirty but rather so much safer. Less work hazards.
Great video, very informative. I was a little confused by the disinfection portion. Are you saying chloramines cause DBPs and are used more often than chlorine? It is my understanding that chlorine is used more often than chloramines (especially as a primary disinfectant). Also, chloramines are often used to lessen the occurrence of DBPs (as compared to chlorine).
Incredible demonstration of expertise! Your approach to water treatment is so innovative. I’m definitely going to try it out in my own projects. Additionally, our company offers cutting-edge water treatment solutions that could complement your work. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate!"
I'm doing my internship at water treatment plant. They need me to find out why is PAC doesn't worked so well at the first plant ( as an alternative, they use alum + lime) but at the same time it works very well at the second plant even both plants came from similar water source? Thank you
Great work. Even though I've learned this whole process in french, however I completly understood it. I was hoping at the end of the video to talk about the reverse osmosis and explain it. Thank you
You forgot to mention potassium permanganate or now more popular sodium permanganate which is an oxidizer used before the coagulant. Great video though
It's usually chemical engineers not civil engineers are apt for water treatment plant operation. Remember chemicals are handled in water treatment plant. Civil engineers are only involve during civil works and construction of the water treatment plant after the chemical engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and process control engineer have designed it properly.
Chlorine dioxide is a chlorate not a chloramine because a chloramine has the N2H bond on it. I think you mean "chlorates such as chlorine dioxide" and "chloramines such as monochloramine"

Now I know why my water bill is so damn expensive.

Small price to pay to avoid dysentery. In Utah we’re paying hundredths of a penny per gallon for tap water.
