SURFACE WATER POTABILIZATION SYSTEM BY MEANS OF A COMPACT COAGULATING/FLOCCULATING-SETTLER TANK HAVING RECIRCULATION OF FLOCS, A BATTERY WITH CLOSED FILTERS AND A TANK HAVING AN AUTOMATIC BACK-WASHING PROCESS BY A SIPHON.

摘要

The present invention refers to a complete surface water potabilization system for disinfecting and removing colour and cloudiness from water. The invention simplifies and reduces the processes provided by common systems intended for the aforesaid purposes, the same including a low energy consumption; the use of a reduced number of equipments; a simplified automatic operation. The invention is a novel and totally different system from those currently available on the market, which also includes a quick mixing system, coagulation, flocculation, setting, a recirculating process in a single compact equipment without requiring engine mechanical elements; a water flow passing through filters by means of gravity and a back-washing process by gravity as well.
