Coliform Removal from Water
Understanding the Coliform Contaminant
Coliform bacteria are a group of microorganisms commonly found in the environment, particularly in soil, vegetation, and the intestines of warm-blooded animals. While most coliforms are harmless, their presence in water indicates potential contamination by harmful pathogens. Sources of coliform contamination include surface water runoff, sewage leaks, and agricultural practices. Exposure to contaminated water can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses and other health risks.
Solutions for Removal
- UV Disinfection: Utilizes ultraviolet light to effectively kill coliform bacteria without the use of chemicals.
- Chlorination: Employs chlorine to eliminate coliforms and prevent recontamination.
- Reverse Osmosis: Filters out coliform bacteria and other microorganisms.
Applications
Coliform removal is vital in residential, commercial, and industrial water systems to ensure safe drinking water.
