What is the main purpose of split treatment in water treatment?

The main purpose of split treatment in water treatment involves optimizing the chemical addition and improving efficiency for treatment processes. Specifically, one of the primary goals of split treatment is to effectively manage levels of certain minerals, including magnesium.

In water treatment, magnesium can play a role in water hardness, and often the removal of excessive magnesium helps in compliance with water quality standards and improves the overall quality of treated water. By splitting the treatment, operators can make adjustments based on water quality parameters that may fluctuate, leading to more effective removal of specific contaminants such as magnesium.

This approach allows for better control over the treatment process, ensuring that not only is the magnesium content managed appropriately, but also other water quality issues can be addressed simultaneously.
