1- Coagulação e Floculação

Nestas etapas, as impurezas presentes na água são agrupadas pela ação do coagulante, em partículas maiores ( flocos) que possam ser removidas pelo processo de decantação. Os reagentes utilizados são denominados de coagulantes , que normalmente são o Sulfato de Alumínio e o Cloreto Férrico.
- Filtraçao

A água decantada é encaminhada às unidades filtrantes onde é efetuado o processo de filtração. Um filtro é constituído de um meio poroso granular, normalmente areia, de uma ou mais camadas, instalado sobre um sistema de drenagem, capaz de reter e remover as impurezas ainda presentes na água.
