Q

Define: Total Coliform

A

Are a group of closely related, mostly harmless bacteria that live in soil and water as well as the guts of animals. The extent to which total coliforms are present in the source water can indicate the general quality of that water and the likelihood that the water is contaminated with fecal matter. The presence or absence of total coliform bacteria is the drinking water standard.

Q

What is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant?

A

-Removes suspended particles as small as 1 micron in some cases.
-Through a high-pressure pump, the filtered water is boosted up in pressure to as much as 1000 psi where it is introduced into the RO membranes. A portion
of the filtered water, typically 20-25 percent, permeates through the membrane to become fresh water.
-Single or triple pass
