Water treatment plant

We went to a water treatment plant somewhere in Jakarta. What we do there is that we have to clean the water so that we can give the water to the taps in Jakarta.

What we did in the first station is we get the water from the river near us and we remove the garbage from the river which is called Garbage Removal. We take out big trash and little trash like cup noodle cups.

On the second station, we added chlorine to the water to kill the bacteria and we added floc the the water (its a chemical which makes solid objects stick together)

The third station, we had to make the floc sink to the bottom and after that we add chlorine to kill the bacteria again

The fourth station is to make the water go through a 1 meter tell sand so we can get the water clean. Then we add chlorine again!

The last station was to test the water if the water is safe enough to give it to the people who live near the water treatment plant. I learned a lot of things at the plant
