J. C. Tarafdar

I think, the attached files may provide you clear idea.

Eltonjohn TONY Dsouza

@J.C Tarafdar sir, thank you for the answer. One quick question: are the processes mentioned in the attached file meant for the treatment to get portable water?

Yes, one may get portable water also by passing through UV filter in addition.

Micro particles can be removed to certain extent but nano particles removal very limited in such treatment

Sangmin Lee

Sand and anthracite bed is basically used for particles about larger than 100 um. Thus nano sized particles are not removed . You 'd better use UF or RO process.
