Clarification :
Filtration :
Water leaving the clarification stage will contain mainly
traces of floc as suspended material. The most
frequent problem arising in the operation of clarifiers is
the carryover of floc, resulting in overloading of the
filters.
Sand or anthracite are invariably used as filter media
The normal filtration medium used is a bed of closely
size graded sand with a particle size of about 1mm.
The sand layer is about 1m deep & is supported on
gravel.
Pumps are employed to pass the water through the
filter media under pressure
Multimedia Filters :
In multimedia filters a layer of anthracite is placed on
top of a layer of sand.
Up-flow filters
The water enters at the bottom of the filter bed & flows
up through layers of sand of decreasing particle size,
thus improving the dirt holding capacity of the bed.

Cooling water :
The main use of cooling water is to cool the exhaust
steam from the turbine in a surface condenser of the
shell & tube type.

Scaling :
Several salts initially soluble in the river water can, as the
temperature & concentration of the cooling water increase,
be precipitated from solution onto the heat transfer surfaces
causing scaling.
